The purpose of this research is to determine if college athletes at UNC are at risk for cavities. Because college athletes have specific diets and busy schedules, they may not know they are consuming foods that increase their risk for cavities. By using an assessment tool that is used to measure cavities risk, CAMBRA, we can survey the athletes diet and oral hygiene choices.

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.

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 aims to explore how college students with food allergies use dining halls and how this affects their risk of allergic reactions. We will look at answers to questions about dining habits, emotional well-being, and personal experiences with food allergies. Additionally, we will assess how well existing safety measures and accommodations in college dining halls work to prevent allergic reactions. The study seeks to identify specific factors that may lead to allergic reactions, such as how often students eat in dining halls, the meal plans they choose, and their understanding of allergen information. The findings from this study will help improve food safety practices in college dining facilities. Ultimately, we hope to create better strategies to protect students with food allergies, enhance their dining experiences, and support their overall health and well-being on campus.
