From Action to Impact: Improving Breast Cancer Care in North Carolina

The purpose of this research study is to assess the patient-level, healthcare provider/system-level, and community-level barriers to resolving abnormal mammograms and initiation of treatment of breast cancer in the 3 geographic regions of North Carolina: the greater Charlotte area, the Northwest, and the Northeast. These areas include the following counties: Anson, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Stanly, Union, Edgecombe, Halifax, Nash, Northampton, Wilson , Ashe, Alleghany, Surry, Stokes, Watauga, Wilkes, Yadkin, Forsyth, Avery, Caldwell, Alexander, Iredell, Davie, Davidson, Burke, Catawba, and Rowan.

Multiple Myeloma study

You are being asked to take part in this study because you previously agreed to receive a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug, idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel), for the treatment of your disease as part of routine care and not a clinical research study. You had the blood collection (leukapheresis) (pronounced loo-ka-fer-ee-sis) procedure, your T cells (a subset of your white blood cells that are part of your immune system and attack things like infections and cancer cells) were collected and genetically modified in a laboratory in order to manufacture the ide-cel T cells for your disease treatment. The ide-cel T cells that were produced do not meet all of the prespecified release criteria to be used as a routine prescription drug as required by the governing health authority (such as the FDA) where you are being treated. For example, the modified T cells may have a lower cell

Assessing Domestic Violence Intervention Programs in the United States: Identifying Strengths, Weaknesses, and a Path Towards Restorative Justice

Domestic violence intervention programs (DVIPs), also known as batterer intervention programs (BIPs), are court-mandated and self-referred programs designed to address domestic violence perpetration through psycho-educational approaches and/or cognitive behavioral therapy. By building on the extant evidence base and conducting formative research, we will identify DVIPs that have demonstrated effectiveness and innovative practices, including the utilization of restorative justice frameworks, and assess their curricula, service delivery approaches, partnerships, and administrative structures. We will use this information as the basis to determine DVIP best practices, with the goal of improved outcomes in mitigating domestic violence.

Alternative Agricultural Cooperatives in Turkey

This research examines how alternative food networks (AFNs) in Turkey enact autonomy by connecting various stakeholders, including small-scale producers, cooperatives, and consumers across the country, under a solidarity-based organization. Successful data collection will enable the researcher to obtain a deep understanding of the AFNs - specifically how they challenge the gendered production relations, maintain fair production and distribution chains, and finally, keep solidarity as the core principle of the network.
