We are studying patterns and processes of land degradation and rehabilitation in Africa.

Purpose: To qualitatively evaluate the Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training (DBT-ST) group as an intervention for adults with autism and co-occurring mental health conditions. Participants: Participants for this study will include approximately 25 autistic adults and fourteen to fifteen clinicians who have participated in or administered DBT-ST groups. Procedures (methods): DBT-ST implementation and patient outcomes will be assessed during an hour-long, semi-structured qualitative interview with both autistic adults and clinicians. Analyses will examine acceptability and satisfaction with the intervention.

This study will engage practicing TRI teachers in an iterative development process to refine TRI activities and materials for small group instruction. Small groups provide the opportunity to reach a larger number of students in less time.

The purpose of this study is to further adapt an evidence-based, social support intervention, enCompass for rural cancer caregivers by identifying the barriers and facilitators from the perspectives of clinical staff and healthcare administrators. Results of this study will inform the development of a clinical trial.

The purpose of this research study is to test a set of interventions designed to improve HIV care and prevention among girls and young women in Zambia.

The purpose of this research study is to improve safety measures and reduce stressors associated with lumen hub-clave seizures when caring for patients with CVCs. The primary outcome of the pilot study is to document the types and frequency of workarounds employed, current disinfection techniques, and the stressors of those caring for and accessing CVCs.

we propose the creation of a prospective multi-center registry of patients with IBD and EIM, initially focusing on peripheral arthritis, the most common and understudied EIM, to better understand clinical course and management.

A large problem in India is the unavailability of basic eye care, especially with60-70 million people suffering from visual impairment and the majority living in rural communities. The majority of these eye problems can be avoided through safer precautions, or easily treated if caught early. I will explore the impact of preventative eye care methods in villagers' inaccessibility to eye care and eye services. I will work with patients and doctors at Kalinga Hospital to identify common misconceptions in eye care, and create posters and/or hold demonstrations teaching preventative methods, analogous to breast self-exams. I am learning even more from the environment around me - the nuances that separate Odisha's methods from Western medicine is something that I can only learn by fully immersing myself in this experience.

The purpose of this research is to assess the effectiveness and safety of cochlear implantation in children and adult patients, aged 5 years and older, with unilateral hearing loss/single-sided deafness (UHL/SSD) to support a change in indication for use.
