This study intends to do that by examining how NIL impacts both the athletic and academic outcomes for Black, female student-athletes in the evolving landscape of collegiate sports.
Hunter Syndrome or Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) is a rare genetic disorder caused by decreased levels of a specific enzyme, iduronate-2-sulfatase. Lack of this enzyme causes buildup of large sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The build up of GAGs causes significant damage to the body and brain. This extension study is evaluating the long-term safety and efficacy of JR-141, an enzyme replacement therapy, to provide the missing enzyme to the body. This allows for break down of the stored GAGs. JR-141 uses specific technology to cross the blood brain barrier so that the enzyme can get into the brain. JR-141 is expected to help both the cognitive (brain) and body effects of MPS II.
To explore community pharmacist perspectives on the feasibility of and interest in pharmacy-centered methadone access at rural community pharmacies. The model for which we will elicit pharmacists' perspectives parallels several similar successful programs that exist outside of the US and several successful small-scale pilots that have been conducted in urban areas of the US, including NC.
We are aiming to understand the current limits on diagnosing and treating neuroimmunological disorders in Africa from a clinician's point of view.
This study aims to explore what helps and what hinders participant recruitment for a Lyme disease study among dog owners in northwestern North Carolina. This information will help improve recruitment strategies and provide insight into future scalability and adoption of One Health interventions.
The study aims to explore whether nutrition guidelines and food ranking systems are adopted by local food pantries, identify barriers and facilitators to following nutrition guidelines for pantries, and the impact on diet quality of children and youth from diverse, low-income families living in Central North Carolina. Also the study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a future pilot intervention using culturally and contextually appropriate educational and "nudge" approaches in food pantries.
We want to find out how people in North Carolina think about climate change and clean energy. To do this, we ask participants to sort statements about topics like protecting communities, using renewable energy, and paying for projects. By looking at how people group these statements, we can see what ideas are important to them. This information will help leaders and communities work together on plans that keep everyone safer and healthier in the face of climate challenges.
This study will gather feedback from state agency staff and summer meals sponsors on a Summer Meals Site Placement tool.
