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.

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.

This preliminary fieldwork will allow me to assess site feasibility in Georgia, North Carolina, and Colombia for an ethnography of agricultural intermediaries and will shape my future dissertation project and course of studies. The research seeks to expand understandings of extension, an agricultural development model characterized by top-down dissemination of university-based research. Studying how extension employees navigate between their bureaucratic organizations and the farmers they serve -- noting who is considered an expert, how knowledge and technology are produced, and who is involved in the process (and under what circumstances) -- has potential implications for a more just food system.

The purpose of this research study is to assess the patient-level, healthcare provider/system-level, and community-level barriers to resolving abnormal mammograms and initiation of treatment of breast cancer in the 3 geographic regions of North Carolina: the greater Charlotte area, the Northwest, and the Northeast. These areas include the following counties: Anson, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Stanly, Union, Edgecombe, Halifax, Nash, Northampton, Wilson , Ashe, Alleghany, Surry, Stokes, Watauga, Wilkes, Yadkin, Forsyth, Avery, Caldwell, Alexander, Iredell, Davie, Davidson, Burke, Catawba, and Rowan. These barriers can include obtainment of biopsies and other diagnostic procedures for resolving abnormal mammograms abnormalities or breast symptoms, access to care providers after breast cancer diagnosis, and initiation of appropriate surgical, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments after diagnosis.

The purpose of this research study is to understand how to better support learning while searching online. In this study, participants will be asked to: complete a search task online to learn about a particular topic, respond to questionnaires that ask about your experience before and after the search task, and complete an assessment immediately after the search task and one week later about the search task topic.

We are assess the utility of using a required doctor badge insert along with normal physician name tags to help patients and staff more accurately identify physicians. In particular, residents, or trainees, especially those in surgery are often misperceived as nurses, students, or other non-physicians. Prior research has shown that this varies based on both race and gender.

The purpose of the study is to see how Kenyan clerics at the Coastal Region used social media platforms to communicate with their followers in areas including spiritual needs, teaching, counseling during the pandemic due to lockdowns by the government.

This study recruits participants who receive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a treatment for their depression. We investigate how brain rhythms change during the treatment to better understand how TMS affects the brain.
