We are specifically interested in understanding the knowledge, beliefs, patient identification, practice intervention, and future focus of pediatric migraine management by pediatric dentists and pediatric dental residents. This will allow us to evaluate the level of education and training, assess clinical exposure to pediatric patients presenting with migraine-associated symptoms, determine the level of interest among pediatric dentists in expanding their role in pediatric migraine management, and identify potential gaps in training to enhance interdisciplinary collaboration.

The purpose of this study is to determine which new magnetic resonance sequences provide better, faster and more useful information. A sequence is a distinct method of obtaining magnetic resonance (MR) images. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam is made up of many different imaging sequences. These new sequences will be implemented on either on a 3 Tesla (3T) MR system, a 7 Tesla (7T) MR system (single- or multi- transmit), or both. Since the signal-to-noise ratio for MR images is highly dependent on the magnetic field strength, the anticipated signal-to-noise will be 7T greater than 3T and 3T greater than 1.5T systems. The 3T MR system is FDA approved whereas the 7T system is not FDA approved, but is built to the same standards as other FDA approved scanners. In addition, the FDA has approved magnetic field strength up to 8T for human imaging. Participants will be told ahead

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.

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

We are exploring the relationship between participation in the FIT Program with health outcomes, recidivism, and healthcare utilization for people who are coming out of incarceration and who have chronic illnesses.

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.
