Purpose: This exploratory study aims to examine characteristics and patterns of victimization experiences and protective factors during youth through the life history calendar (LHC) method with a sample of young adults. Participants: This study will recruit 25 young adults (ages 18-24) who are of a racial or ethnic minoritized identity. Potential participants must also endorse experiencing at least two victimizations prior to the age of 18 that occurred over two months in duration and at least one victimization experience rated as having had a moderately severe impact on the individual. Procedures: Participants will retrospectively reflect on their victimization experiences (onset, duration, perceived severity of impact) and perceived protective factors during childhood and early adolescence (< 18 years old) through the completion of an LHC interview.
The purpose of this study is to identify key features of primary caregivers' desirable characteristics for the development of a Down syndrome (Ds) Clinic within the UNC Healthcare system.
To (1) test the Rome V Diagnostic Questionnaire, a new version of a questionnaire designed to assess the presence of 25 different Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI), (2) estimate the population prevalence of each of these 25 disorders in the adult population of different countries, (3) evaluate which demographic and personal factors are associated with having these DGBI, and (4) assess their impact on quality of life and emotional wellbeing.
To develop a simple and inexpensive ultrasound device. This device could be used effectively in many different places with only basic training for users.
The purpose of this focus group is to get feedback from patient representatives at UNC Internal Medicine on a set of proposed patient resources and referrals to osteoarthritis resources.
This is a research project that will explore the demographic conditions facing principals of color and investigate the district conditions within which these principals are able to flourish as leaders.
The purpose of this study is to improve the teaching training and teaching support OB/GYN residents receive during their residency. We will use a human-centered design (HCD) approach to create a UNC OB/GYN specific curriculum for resident teaching. The first phase of this project, the Inspiration Phase, gathers information about the current reality of resident teaching. Using this information we will eventually create and implement an effective resident-as-teacher curriculum for OB/GYN residents at UNC.
Investigates how states use (or not) research evidence within the budget development process.
Student researchers will develop a set of 10-15 infographics of interventions that incorporate the Safe Systems principles. This project will work closely with the NC Vision Zero team to gather input from key road safety partners across the country (e.g., the Vision Zero Network, and Families for Safe Streets) via interviews to identify interventions to highlight, collaborate with the design team at NC State's Institute for Transportation Research and Education to produce quality materials, and work with local NC communities to conduct usability testing of materials and create a dissemination plan for the NC Vision Zero team.
This study is an in-depth, qualitative research study with a longitudinal design that will assess if and how post-traumatic growth and radical healing are experienced among Black/African American youth (ages 13-18) exposed to racial trauma who participate in a YPAR intervention. Our longitudinal qualitative design, with quantitative integrated only for qualitative comparison by group purposes, allows us to explore shared patterns and differences across youth-serving contexts without neglecting person-level factors (i.e., racial identity and racism-related stress) that may impact the experience of post-traumatic growth and radical healing among Black/African American youth exposed to racial trauma. Our approach is grounded in the involvement and perspectives of youth and adult supporters in our respective communities.
