The CMR is a population based breast imaging registry for women screened for breast cancer in NC.
The purpose of this registry is to observe outcomes of heart transplant recipients who are managed with HeartCare. This is done by collecting information about your heart transplant such as test results, biopsy results, and outcomes, storing that information in a database, and using that information for research.
To evaluate the impact of environmental exposures during pregnancy on women's cardio-metabolic health in the years following the pregnancy.
We are collecting cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) from Normal Pressure Hydrocephaly (NPH) patients to generate a biosample research repository. This repository will be used to research CSF biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease that may enhance our ability to detect and monitor Alzheimer's disease diagnoses and progression.
Domestic violence intervention programs (DVIPs), also known as batterer intervention programs (BIPs), are court-mandated and self-referred programs designed to address domestic violence perpetration through psycho-educational approaches and/or cognitive behavioral therapy. By building on the extant evidence base and conducting formative research, we will identify DVIPs that have demonstrated effectiveness and innovative practices, including the utilization of restorative justice frameworks, and assess their curricula, service delivery approaches, partnerships, and administrative structures. We will use this information as the basis to determine DVIP best practices, with the goal of improved outcomes in mitigating domestic violence.
This research examines how alternative food networks (AFNs) in Turkey enact autonomy by connecting various stakeholders, including small-scale producers, cooperatives, and consumers across the country, under a solidarity-based organization. Successful data collection will enable the researcher to obtain a deep understanding of the AFNs - specifically how they challenge the gendered production relations, maintain fair production and distribution chains, and finally, keep solidarity as the core principle of the network.
The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the knowledge acquisition and information seeking habits of athletic trainers regarding the prevention and management of exertional heat illness. The study also aims to understand the facilitators and barriers associated with obtaining evidence-based information and implementing it in clinical practice. This will allow for the improvement of information delivery and knowledge transfer in the future.
By collecting large amounts of data, this study aims to describe the pregnancy rate, pregnancy outcomes, health and disease burden of women of reproductive age and their children under 2 years prior to, during, and following pregnancy and to investigate the structural, socio-demographic, and clinical covariates that contribute to adverse outcomes
Early Check is a research study to check newborns for rare but serious health problems. • Early Check does extra, free tests on the newborn screening blood sample that was already taken in the hospital using a heel prick. The tests allow us to find newborns with these health problems before symptoms start. • The goal of Early Check is to learn about the health problems and look for better treatments to help babies that have them.
The purpose of this work is to address institutional administrative capacity with input from UNC Chapel Hill and North Carolina Central University post-doctoral fellows and faculty to better understand experiences associated with previous research collaborations and assess perceived benefits and barriers to developing research capacity among investigators from under-represented minority groups.
