The Improving Provider Announcement Communication Training (IMPACT) national primary care team survey aims to investigate HPV vaccine communication among a large sample of primary care team members, including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and medical assistants to inform future provider communication interventions.
All existing studies estimate the health effects of disability insurance based on reduced form models. This paper fills the gap in the literature by developing a model that allows the estimation of the Social Security Disability Insurance effects on health in a structural way. The structural model enables me to analyze counterfactual scenarios. In particular, I concentrate on the modification of the SSDI program that permits partial benefits for the partially disabled.
High school is the last opportunity a state institution can ensure its next generation has a solid grasp of their country's past and present, its core principles, and obligations of responsible citizenship. The 2022-2023 school year will be the second year NC students are taking the Founding Principles of the United States and North Carolina: Civic Literacy classes and high school graduates will be a mixture of those who have taken the new civics course and those who will be able to graduate without taking it as a requirement. This study is important because it is attempting to assess the current knowledge, attitudes, and feeling of recent NC high school graduates who have a range of civic education opportunities. Teachers also provide an important perspective as they are end users of many policy decisions and are at the heart of providing civic education to high school students.
Our team developed a calculator to help oncologists better estimate prognosis in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Using this information, our team developed a prognostic calculator to predict risk of death within 30 days for patients with MBC. For this information to impact care, it will have to be used in clinical practice. In order to increase the likelihood of successful adoption of the calculator into clinical practice, we will study its implementation and evaluate its impact. In this study, we will seek the input of doctors, nurses, and advance practice providers who care for patients with MBC to better understand the factors that encourage and dissuade discussion of prognosis and use of such a prognostic tool.
The objective of this project is to conduct a survey of law enforcement officers in North Carolina about traffic safety enforcement. A survey can gauge officer's support for traffic safety initiatives, shed light on officer concerns about enforcing traffic safety laws, and provide valuable information for understanding the way that agencies are prioritizing and conducting these activities.
To investigate the knowledge and attitudes among NC dental hygienists towards chronic disease management.
There exists limited empirical evidence to inform the structure and content of the current NCAA exit interviews which restricts their impact on post-career health and well-being. This study hopes to bridge that gap and to understand the student-athlete transition experience including outcomes of mental, physical, social, and occupational functioning. In this aim, we are inviting you to participate in an evidence-based, survey addendum to the standard of care exit interview. A total of 120 individuals will be invited to participate in this portion of the study. A subgroup of 30 participants will be invited to participate in a follow-up interview. If you are selected for follow-up, we will reach out to you in no more than 60 days after the completion of this survey.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of EG 70, a gene therapy, which is given inside the bladder, and its effectiveness on eliminating bladder tumors in patients with NMIBC who have failed BCG therapy and have been recommended to have their bladder removed. Giving the study drug inside the bladder is to expose cells in the lining of the bladder, including your cancerous cells, to genes that may cause an immune response inside the bladder and kill the tumor cells.
Aim 1: To co-develop the "Patient-Centered Pharmacy Pathway for Oral Chemotherapy" (P3OC) components through stakeholder engagement by conducting a modified Delphi panel with pharmacists, physicians, and other oncology healthcare providers (36,37) to determine key symptoms to assess during oral chemotherapy. Aim 2: To conduct usability testing(38,39) of the P3OC EHR Smart Form, verbal PROM, and report/dashboard with pharmacists.
This project is a randomized clinical trial (study that randomly assigns participants to one arm to fairly understand outcomes) that aims to assess if information from gene expression classifier (GEC) testing is helpful for both patients and their doctors in the management of care for newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients.
