Evaluating the processes and impacts of a multi-year research project

Allow learners to practice nerve blocks

We intend to study how well a type of surgery works for people who had hernia near they stoma (a small opening in the belly to pass waste). The goal is to see how often the hernia comes back and if patients had any problems after surgery..

: The proposed study is a three-year mixed methods study of the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, and subsequent changes to state reproductive health policies, on mental health and work-related wellbeing of OB/GYNs. We will study how workplace factors, and organizational policies and practices, may lessen the impact of restrictive state policies on OB/GYNs' mental health, work-related wellbeing, and turnover intention. We will undertake a convergent mixed-method design, in which we will conduct a quantitative survey and qualitative interviews simultaneously. We will then conduct key informant interviews of OB/GYN and hospital leaders to determine the best methods and pathways for dissemination of findings.

The primary goal of IMPORT is to improve our understanding of post-overdose response team characteristics, processes, and which specific practices are perceived to be most effective in reducing overdose death and improving the lives of individuals with opioid use disorder at high risk for overdose.

This study explores the physical features and everyday use of shared water, sanitation, and energy services in informal settlement, Nairobi. It looks at what these shared facilities are like, how people use and take care of them, and how they deal with problems such as flooding or damage. By learning from people's experiences, the study hopes to find better ways to improve these shared facilities in crowded urban areas.

Neonatal mortality remains a significant challenge in Malawi, despite the country's success in reducing overall childhood mortality. We have identified significant gaps in infection control and routine neonatal care in tertiary facilities. As more childbirths are occurring in health facilities, it is crucial to identify areas for improvement and address these in each facility to enhance the quality of neonatal care. This study proposes a team-based approach to identifying areas for improvement with a high potential to significantly impact neonatal survival in surgical neonates. By including a wide range of individuals - from those working in the unit to providers interacting with the team to hospital leadership - we can design robust interventions with the potential for successful implementation and propagation. Our study proposes a reproducible model that other neonatal services or facilities may replicate. An additional benefit of a qualitative research-informed approach is empowering all team members to improve

This study focuses on relationships between clinical service providers and young autistic children between the ages of 3 and 6. We want to understand what individual characteristics and behaviors influence connection and cooperation between children and their clinicians.

The purpose of the registry is to better characterize physical characteristics of patients with peripheral neuropathies and generate a group of well-studied patients.

The purpose of this study is to improve the treatment of children and young adults with all stages of FHWT, so that more patients are cured without relapse, and that side effects from treatment are lessened without decreasing cure rates. This study will use information on higher or lower risk features of FHWT to adjust the treatment of each subject based on their risk of relapse.
