We are trying to understand how agricultural workers in Southeastern North Carolina feel about managing their diabetes. We hope to help participants feel more comfortable in understanding their diabetes and how to better control their blood sugar.

This study will examine how, if at all, schools are using the school improvement process to identify and address inequities.

You are being asked to participate in this study because you have an appointment at UNC Urology, and you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The purpose of this research study is to learn how either cryosurgery or prostatectomy procedures change the inflammatory response within the body. To do this, we will draw blood and analyze it for signs of inflammation before and after your standard of care procedure.

The goal of this project is to understand how community pharmacies work collaboratively with patients to reduce the harm that opioid misuse can cause. Investigators are also seeking to understand what challenges community pharmacies face when trying to decrease harm from opioids by supporting safe use of opioid medications and access to medications for opioid use disorder treatment and opioid overdose reversal. Information gathering efforts are being focused on community pharmacies that serve racial and ethnic minority communities in rural areas. Triangle CERSI scientists are working collaboratively with the FDA to survey and interview pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, patients, and other community members to collect and analyze data needed to better understand community pharmacy challenges in these areas. Ultimately, investigators seek to explore effective ways to reduce the harm from opioid misuse among underserved communities.

We are classifying narratives by types of narrators (i.e., reliable vs. unreliable).

This project will focus on identifying and addressing socio-economic barriers to healthcare (e.g., education, transportation/access) for patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Lupus Nephritis (LN). This pilot program aims to expand supportive services and education to mitigate healthcare barriers, by: 1) enhancing access to tangible transportation support systems to improve healthcare access; and 2) utilizing Pharmacist Counseling and Patient Educational Materials to increase awareness and knowledge of the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, medication adherence, and routine screenings (e.g., urine protein creatinine ratio and urinalysis) for improved health outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to understand how people gather information from reference letters, which are short essays written by a former colleague or supervisor to support someone's application for a new role.

The TIMELY impact evaluation is a tracking study to evaluate the extent to which patients with lupus from North Carolina who are under the care of TIMELY-trained providers (rheumatologists, primary care providers, nephrologists, dermatologists) or have connected with local Community Health Workers (CHWs) have increased intentions and willingness to participate in lupus clinical trials and referrals, enrollment, and retention in lupus clinical trials.

This study focuses on human's deviation from information saturation with their personal satisfying strategy, aka, individual information satiety. This helps us to understand how and why humans decide what is enough for particular tasks, and inform us with better design guidelines for information systems.

The rationale of this phase 3 study is to explore whether avacopan combined with a rituximab or cyclophosphamide-containing regimen is safe and effective in inducing and maintaining remission in pediatric subjects with active ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV).
