The purpose of the proposed study is to interview clinic staff at Duke Children's Primary Care to investigate their current Reach Out and Read program and practices. In the process, we will identify areas of strength and need. We will also identify potential next steps to improve implementation efficacy. The ultimate goal is to ensure that every child benefits from growing up surrounded by books and words.

The United States is facing a worsening physician shortage that particularly affects people living in rural or underserved communities. One strategy used to address this problem is clinical exposure programs for students in high school, college, and/or medical school. Research currently suggests that these programs could influence participants' interest in medicine, specialty choice, and practice location preferences. Mentoring in Medicine is a summer clinical exposure program that targets college students in the Johnstown area of Pennsylvania. This region of the state is socioeconomically disadvantaged and medically underserved. No formal follow-up has been conducted on the participants since the program began in 2004. We plan on surveying these past participants to examine their academic and career interests and outcomes. We will also use physician databases to determine career outcomes. This data will help contribute to the body of evidence regarding educational interventions to improve medical shortages in the United States.

Although speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have an important role in the development of literacy according to the American Speech-Language Hearing Association, they are not assessing and/or treating literacy at the same rates as oral language. There is a need to examine the reasons for this through surveying speech-language pathologists on areas such as the extent of pre-service training they received on literacy. There is also a need to ascertain what SLPs current clinical experiences of literacy are and what the literacy profiles of children and adolescents on their workloads are.

The study is designed to look at Crohn's disease over a period time, from before a surgery to 12 months after the surgery has taken place. The role bacteria in the gut plays in Crohn's disease (CD) is not well understood. Which particular microbes contribute to disease remain unknown. In CD, ~70% of patients will end up requiring surgery due to chronic unrelenting complications, and ~50% require additional surgery. We hope to identify key microbes at the time of surgery in stool and tissue and correlate it over time with data collected at timepoints after surgery. We will use this data with clinical information to determine if specific microbes are associated with disease recurrence.

The purpose of this Heart Failure Research Registry is to collect relevant patient-level demographic, clinical, laboratory and hemodynamic data from CardioMEMS patients to advance scientific knowledge about pulmonary hemodynamics and heart failure therapies.

The purpose of this evaluation will be to assess how the NC-DSS competencies and learning objectives for the Child Welfare in North Carolina -Pre-service Course are integrated into the curriculum of NC Social Work programs participating in the NC-Child Welfare Education Collaborative (NC-CWEC) program.
