All existing studies estimate the health effects of disability insurance based on reduced form models. This paper fills the gap in the literature by developing a model that allows the estimation of the Social Security Disability Insurance effects on health in a structural way. The structural model enables me to analyze counterfactual scenarios. In particular, I concentrate on the modification of the SSDI program that permits partial benefits for the partially disabled.
We hope to collect data on the pregnancy course and neonatal outcome of mothers whose infants have been diagnosed with gastroschisis.
Mentorship for medical students applying to competitive residencies such as Otolaryngology is vital for their success in matching into the field. Despite medical student advising being important in Otolaryngology, there is almost no research looking into the effectiveness of the strategies Otolaryngology departments utilize in order to mentor and successful match students. The purpose of this study is to evaluate over the last 10 years how UNC medical students who applied into Otolaryngology feel about the advising process they received.
Using a semi-structured interview guide, we will conduct formative interviews to better understand nurses' and medical assistants' roles in HPV vaccination.
The purpose of this study is to better understand researchers' and stakeholder partners' experiences working on stakeholder-engaged health-related research projects during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also hope to identify best practices, challenges, strategies, and desired resources related to working on stakeholder-engaged health-related research projects during COVID-19 and other health emergencies
