To evaluate the current state of health care disparities curriculums within general surgery programs within the US.

A challenge in treating COVID-19 is early prediction of patient outcomes. Here, we develop a functional assay for patient risk stratification based on clinically observed, unique vascular signatures of COVID-19. We integrate data from this assay with patient process of care information to determine predictive metrics for risk stratification.

The purpose of this research study is to better understand adolescent e-cigarette use behavior and decisions about their use. The information we learn from this research will help us develop new survey questions about e-cigarette use.

This study is partnering with communities to identify the best ways to provide COVID-19 testing and vaccines to people who have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19. This includes communities of color, essential workers, immigrants and migrants, people in rural areas, and people with chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure. We want to train community outreach workers and peer recruiters from community and faith-based organizations to help reach these underserved populations with COVID-19 testing and COVID-19 vaccines - a strategy known as "community-based task shifting." Thus, we will be conducting focus groups and theater testing sessions and questionnaires with patients who have received COVID-19 health services and focus groups and interviews with key stakeholders and theater testing sessions and questionnaires with individuals who work in community outreach or peer health education organizations for COVID-19 health services.

The purpose of this research study is to use electroencephalography (EEG) to refine our understanding of the neural mechanisms that give rise to the memory changes observed in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The information we learn from doing this study may help improve diagnosis of MCI in the future.

The GET SET Study is a research study for women who take medicines to help keep breast cancer from coming back. These medicines are called endocrine therapies and include Tamoxifen and Arimidex. The study will test different kinds of extra support programs, such as daily text message reminders and telephone counseling sessions, for women taking these medicines. We want to learn which support programs help women take their medicine as it is prescribed by their doctor.

We want to see if an antibody we created can help reduce symptoms of Lupus by restoring function in immune cells affected by Lupus. We will be taking blood as well as reviewing medical records and current and past disease activity.

The purpose of this project is to complete the complete CVI Range assessment (Roman-Lantzy, 2018) and the Communication Matrix (Rowland, 2011) on a group of children with Angelman syndrome. The results will increase understandings of Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) and its relationship to symbolic communication in this population.

We are comparing an intervention that delivers medically tailored meals and provides weight loss counseling to an intervention that only delivers medically tailored meals, for individuals with diabetes, HIV, and food insecurity

The study will analyze data about how students use instructional resources to discover how the use of those resources relate to student demographics (i.e., who uses which resources and to what extent) and learning outcomes. The resources under study are specifically those involving peer instructors such as learning assistant-led recitations and office hours, peer tutoring, and interactions with peers on instructional communication platforms such as Sakai and Piazza.
