The study team made a survey to assess what medical residents in OBGYN, Family Medicine, and Emergency Medicine programs across North Carolina know about expedited partner therapy. The survey also looks at the challenges and helpful factors related to using this therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate both sporadic (not inherited), and familial (inherited), forms of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Patients include both those who have symptoms of FTLD and those who do not (yet have a family history involving FTLD). This is an observational study, meaning that there is no investigational treatment involved. We will be working with patients for up to a 5 year period to learn more about FTLD using a neurological exam, tests of memory, behavior, and judgement, MRI, and biospecimen collection (blood and/or CSF). This study involves genetic testing of the genes so far identified to be associated with FTLD. The overall goal is to help better understand FTLD, to better understand the genetics of FTLD, and to use the information we learn to guide improved patient care and potential drug development.

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

To conduct focus groups and semi-structured interviews of parents with cancer - and their co-parents - about their experiences communicating with their minor children about cancer to inform the development of a communication intervention support tool.

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.

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the GPX® Embolic Device when used as indicated for embolization procedures, procedures to stop blood flow to certain tumors.

This study surveys students who completed a Fall 2024 UNC MPA course on AI about their subsequent thinking and experience with AI platforms in their UNC studies and/or their professional workplace.

The primary purpose of this research is to share insights gained from developing and teaching a new, multi-campus course. We ask: what are the unique contributions and challenges of developing a cross-campus, collaborative learning model for teaching planning and equity related topics? How and why did the zoning for equity collaborative learning model evolve over time? What are the lessons learned and takeaways from such a pedagogical innovation? We answer these questions by analyzing the following data: archived course materials and anonymous student evaluations, transcripts of the guided discussions among faculty who developed and offered the course, and transcripts of the interviews of former-students who took the class.

We want to develop a registry of patients with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis who attend the UNC Department of Ophthalmolgy,

Many autistic young adults also identify as gender-diverse, meaning they may not feel like the gender they were assigned at birth. These individuals face unique challenges, including feeling pressured to hide parts of who they are, struggling to find support, and dealing with high levels of stress. Right now, there aren't many programs designed specifically to help autistic gender-diverse young adults feel safe, understood, and supported. This study is exploring a support group called the SHIFT Guide (Supporting Holistic Identity and Future Thriving). This guide is designed to help autistic gender-diverse young adults connect with others, explore their identities, and develop coping strategies in a safe and affirming space. The goal is to see if the SHIFT Guide is helpful, easy to use, and meets the needs of participants. By learning from this study, we hope to improve support for autistic gender-diverse young adults and create more spaces where they can
