Student researchers will develop a set of 10-15 infographics of interventions that incorporate the Safe Systems principles. This project will work closely with the NC Vision Zero team to gather input from key road safety partners across the country (e.g., the Vision Zero Network, and Families for Safe Streets) via interviews to identify interventions to highlight, collaborate with the design team at NC State's Institute for Transportation Research and Education to produce quality materials, and work with local NC communities to conduct usability testing of materials and create a dissemination plan for the NC Vision Zero team.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of sampling location on drug transporter levels in the healthy and diabetic placenta.
This study relies on the knowledge of recreational shark fishers and SCUBA divers in North Carolina to further understand coastal shark ecology and to learn about fishing effort and diver observation effort. This research will help further our understanding on the abundance and distribution of data-limited coastal sharks. In addition, we believe this will help increase our understanding of the North Carolina recreational shark fishery.
Understanding how the lived experiences or residents may inform and improve public policy related to flooding.
This study understand the different motivations, interests, and goals of students pursuing STEM majors. We want to compare the reasons for why they choose what they want to study. This information can help us understand why the attrition rate of students in physics majors is particularly high.
In this project we are interested in how reputations affect international cooperation. In particular, we are interested in studying how the cost of cooperation changes for countries who fail to uphold their international commitments. We anticipate that this happens via two mechanisms. The first is direct: a change in beliefs about the state's reliability in the eyes of other countries. The second is indirect: a concern that failing to punish a state for non-cooperative behavior will invite more non-cooperative behavior in the future. States, we suspect, are thus concerned with developing a reputation for tolerating non-cooperative behavior. We use survey experiments on the US public and elites to study these questions.
This study aims to explore how college students with food allergies use dining halls and how this affects their risk of allergic reactions. We will look at answers to questions about dining habits, emotional well-being, and personal experiences with food allergies. Additionally, we will assess how well existing safety measures and accommodations in college dining halls work to prevent allergic reactions. The study seeks to identify specific factors that may lead to allergic reactions, such as how often students eat in dining halls, the meal plans they choose, and their understanding of allergen information. The findings from this study will help improve food safety practices in college dining facilities. Ultimately, we hope to create better strategies to protect students with food allergies, enhance their dining experiences, and support their overall health and well-being on campus.
This study aims to understand the frequency club sport athletes at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are using mouthguards and what feelings/beliefs about mouthguards they have.
Our study is evaluating the development of a course created by 3rd and 4th year medical students to teach 1st year medical students about COVID-19 and pandemics. The study aims to survey course instructors and students to determine if the course was created in a way that is efficient and if the course was useful to students.
The purpose of this study is to develop a better understanding of emphatic sounds in Jordanian Arabic.
