Collect a bank of respiratory samples from pediatric patients with airway infection, particularly viral infection. Analysis of these samples should help us develop new treatments for airway infection in children.
he purpose of Parents and Infants Inter(X)action Intervention (PIXI) is to study ways of supporting the early development of infants diagnosed with rare neurogenetic disorders in their first year of life. PIXI is funded by the John Merck Fund and is led by RTI International (RTI) in collaboration with researchers at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. The team includes neurodevelopmental psychologists, early interventionists, and experts in neurogenetic conditions (e.g., fragile X syndrome, Angelman syndrome), autism spectrum disorder, and early childhood development. The goal of PIXI is to provide developmental and behavioral support for infants with rare neurogenetic disorders through a two-phase targeted parent-mediated intervention program.
In Aim 1, we will use existing research and expert review to develop new text and pictorial LCC warnings and test the new warnings using online experiments to identify warnings that adult LCC users perceive as most effective. The proposed study will fill critical gaps regarding which characteristics make LCC warning labels most effective and provide needed evidence on how LCC warnings influence LCC behavioral intentions. Our overarching goal is to develop effective LCC warnings that reduce cancer and other health risks.
The purpose of this study is to understand two things: (a) different ways that couples think about time and stress and (b) how this impacts aspects of individual and relationship well-being.
The proposed project seeks to further our understanding of how teachers improve over time-and specifically how white teachers can become more effective teachers to students of color-by bridging three previously distinct literatures in education research: the returns to teaching experience, teacher peer effects, and the impacts of racial representation in the teaching force.
