The purpose of this study is to examine how state licensure boards regulate the use of remote or tele-supervision for behavioral health clinicians pursuing independent licensure. Advances in telehealth have expanded opportunities for virtual clinical supervision, yet regulations vary widely across professions and states. Understanding how remote supervision is defined, implemented, and restricted can inform policy efforts to strengthen workforce capacity, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
The purpose of this study is to understand how people use and understand language in everyday situations. We want to learn how things like life experiences, reading skills, or knowing more than one language affect how people speak, listen, and read.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a type of group-based mental health therapy works for autistic adults. The type of therapy is called Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training. The study will look at whether 1) mental health clinicians could deliver the therapy program as intended, 2) autistic adults liked the program, and 3) autistic adults experienced any changes in their ability to manage difficult or intense emotions, anxiety, mood, and quality of their lives. We are doing this study, because autistic adults experience poorer mental health and difficulties managing their emotions, compared to others without autism. We want to understand whether this therapy helps, which will help us determine if we should change anything about the therapy program to make it better.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about how senior pediatric residents decide when to ask their supervisors for help and how they do so. By learning about their experiences, we hope to find ways to support residents, help them make safe decisions, and improve care for children in the hospital.
The researcher is conducting this study to learn how school leaders understand and respond to student attendance patterns. The researcher will meet with school attendance teams in focus groups to hear their experiences and ideas. The goal of the study is to identify ways schools can support students and improve regular attendance.
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of using an AI grading tool to score medical student narrative exam responses and to compare its performance with faculty grading using a standard rubric. It will also assess student and faculty perceptions of the accuracy, fairness, and acceptability of AI grading before and after exposure to AI-generated feedback. Through these analyses, the study seeks to determine how well AI aligns with human evaluators, identify the types of questions it grades most and least accurately, and understand the factors that shape willingness to use AI in assessment. The findings will help inform whether and how AI-assisted grading could be integrated into medical education.
This study will examine how undergraduate students of color perceive and experience interracial interactions and close friendships with other students. I will conduct hour-long interviews one on one with full-time UNC undergraduate students over the age of 18 identifying as either Black, Latino, or Asian American. I will analyze the data collected from interviews to see if there are any recurring themes or patterns across them.
This project seeks to expand employment opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities by reducing barriers through the development of technology-based tools.
