The current study seeks to understand FLE self-care practices and develop a comprehensive framework that FLEs can utilize to initiate and maintain effective self-care routines. This is particularly important given the demanding nature of their work, which involves supporting families and individuals through various life challenges and transitions

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) in public library programming on the social lives of teenage participants. The first question this study seeks to answer is, how do TTRPG programs at public libraries affect the social lives and well-being of teens who participate in them regularly? Second, how does TTRPG programming affect the program participants' perceptions of and engagement with the public library in general? These questions will be answered using a combination of focus groups and interviews. Focus groups will be conducted with two groups of teenagers who regularly play TTRPGs at their local public library, and interviews will be conducted with two librarians who organize and facilitate TTRPG programming at their workplace. The study is expected to reveal how important TTRPG programming is to these teens' sense of belonging and use of services at their local library.

To see if hormone therapy (HT) helps reduce hot flashes and night sweats, also known as vasomotor symptoms (VMS), in women living with HIV in the late menopausal transition (similar to what is known as perimenopause) or early post-menopause (the time after the final menstrual period or after removal of both ovaries).

Evaluate the differences between two different treatment durations for exacerbations in a pediatric sample to determine which should be clinical standard.

The DLC and HHIVE DLC labs at UNC Chapel Hill have begun a new collaboration to capture oral histories of North Carolinians affected by PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). PFAS are a class of chemicals found in a variety of products, such as non-stick cookware, food containers, and firefighting foam. North Carolina's industrial and military endeavors have led to high levels of PFAS in our water systems, particularly in the Cape Fear watershed, which extends into 26 counties in North Carolina including Chatham County, a neighboring county of UNC. High levels of PFAS within the human body are now being linked to negative health outcomes, including cancer and fertility issues. The goal of our project is to conduct oral history interviews with people living in those communities and get their perspectives on the impact of PFAS on their lives.

Identify acceptable and feasible school-based interventions for adolescent obesity prevention among adolescent girls in an informal settlement in Kenya

To evaluate the differences in outcomes after laser, open and staple diverticulotomy to determined the long term durability of these surgical interventions for patients with swallowing difficulty from Zenker's Diverticulum.

We are doing a survey to learn about swallowing problems, like trouble swallowing food or drinks, in college students. The survey asks questions to see how often these problems happen and what students do to manage them. This will help us understand more about these issues and raise awareness so students can get help if needed.

Most professionals working with JJ-involved youth have little understanding of how neuroscience and brain development can shape effective strategies for treatment. This gap in knowledge can lead to misconceptions about adolescent behavior, compromising the effectiveness of their approaches. There is also a gap in the connection between scientific research and practical application within the JJ system. This gap often results in the use of cookie-cutter programs that rarely address individual drivers of problem behavior. Enhancing the knowledge of JJ professionals about brain development promises to foster more informed and effective approaches to JJ-involved youth by equipping professionals with better understanding of root causes and drivers of problem behaviors and helping to determine more effective treatment plans. The program proposed here bridges this gap begins by developing a manual for JJ professionals about how brain science can be useful in addressing the needs of youth in the system.

To what extent does the unequal distribution of local wealth explain disparities in social outcomes (education, health, upward mobility)? How do individuals think that inequality around them impacts their own lives? This study aims to provide explorative evidence on people's reasoning.
