Cancer affects the entire family - including children. FACT, which stands for "Families Addressing Cancer Together," is a new online tool that generates custom guidance for discussing cancer with children, tailored for your unique family and goals.
The purpose of this study is to understand how people think about different aspects of time (past, present, and future) and its association with their well-being in romantic relationships.
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 focus group is to get feedback on an educational video about recovery from musculoskeletal pain. The information we learn may help us improve the video so that we can keep people from developing long-term opioid use.
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.
In this study we will look at sleep problems in the home as well as behaviors and differences in the brain (from infancy) associated with sleep problems in school-age. Parents of the participants of our prior study will participate by providing information on their child's sleep habits using a sleep watch, and completing a sleep diary and parent reports.
This project aims to investigate the ways in which an innovative multigenerational STEM environment promotes STEM retention and persistence among undergraduate women of color.
We are studying how students respond to the information provided by grades in their courses and whether the grades they receive influence their subsequent selection of courses. We are especially interested in how this information influences students who are pursuing or thinking of pursuing a STEM major.
The purpose of this study is to help us better understand how patients with KS will respond to treatment with chemotherapy. We know from previous research studies that even though chemotherapy cannot cure KS, it can help a lot to improve symptoms caused by KS and cause KS lesions to become less or even go away for long periods of time.
Flooding is a frequent, expensive, and life-threatening hazard across the United States. Some towns have limited flooding damage by limiting the amount of new development in floodplains (areas known to be at risk of repeat flooding). This project explores why some towns have been able to limit development while others have aggressively built in the floodplains. We interview local stakeholders and residents in eight towns (four that have limited floodplain development and four that have not). We will ask about regulations that limit development and control flood risk in their towns. We will ask about why these regulations were or were not adopted, the process of adoption, how they are enforced, and any challenges faced. We will ask about their experiences with the regulations and their perceptions of flood risks. Our goal is to identify lessons learned that can help other towns improve their floodplain management.
