To assess the job satisfaction of pharmacy technicians who are employed in unique ambulatory pharmacy settings

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effects of Sickle Cell Disease on the state of coagulation and effects on generation of certain coagulation proteins. People with sickle cell disease tend to have a higher rate of thrombosis which is not fully understood. Through this study, we hope to gain a better understanding of the effects of sickle cell disease on turning on coagulation that ultimately leads to a thrombotic event.

We will collect stem cells from individuals with autism to investigate brain development in sibling pairs who do not share a diagnosis of ASD, as well as examine associations between brain growth and variation in ASD-related behaviors.

This research uses the Attitudes Related to Trauma-Informed Care (ARTIC) Scale to gauge the readiness of school mental health practitioners (i.e., school psychologists, social workers, and counselors) to shift toward trauma-sensitive systems. Despite the reliance on school mental health practitioners in this movement, little research exists on their preparedness for and training in trauma-informed approaches. In hope of better situating schools to act as buffers against the adverse effects of childhood trauma, this research seeks to inform graduate and professional-level training on disciplinary practice, causes of student behavior, and the protective nature of secure adult relationships.

TIssue specimens for hidradenitis suppurativa patients will be collected and analyzed to understand the inflammation that occurs in the disease.

This workplace climate survey helps North Carolina local government leaders understand how their employees think and feel about their workplaces.

This study seeks to form a better understanding of factors that affect researchers' decisions regarding whether and how to measure and report fidelity of implementation strategies.

The purpose of this study is to collect samples from patients with GI conditions that are coming to UNC for upper endoscopy as part of their clinical care. Samples will be stored and used for research to learn more about GI conditions.

We are studying how students respond to the information provided by grades in their courses and whether the grades they receive influence their subsequent selection of courses. We are especially interested in how this information influences students who are pursuing or thinking of pursuing a STEM major.

The purpose of this study is to help us better understand how patients with KS will respond to treatment with chemotherapy. We know from previous research studies that even though chemotherapy cannot cure KS, it can help a lot to improve symptoms caused by KS and cause KS lesions to become less or even go away for long periods of time.
