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.

The purpose of this research is to assess the effectiveness and safety of cochlear implantation in children and adult patients, aged 5 years and older, with unilateral hearing loss/single-sided deafness (UHL/SSD) to support a change in indication for use.

The primary objective of the proposed project is to demonstrate the effects of limited physical facility infrastructure, diminished supplies, and gaps in Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) knowledge among Healthcare Personnel on IPC practice implementation at the health facility level to inform efficient and effective future improvement efforts.

The purpose of this expanded access IND (compassionate use) program is to provide tecovirimat for treatment or prevention of non-variola orthopoxvirus infections (e.g., vaccinia, monkeypox, cowpox or other human virus infection identified as an orthopoxvirus) and secondary treatment of complications from replication-competent vaccinia vaccine in adults and children.

Pregnancy complications are increasing in the United States, and this is worse for Black patients, who are 3-4 times more likely to die from pregnancy than White patients. Pregnancy complications and deaths cause large physical, social, and financial burdens for patients and their families. Our study aims to decrease pregnancy complications for all patients, but especially for Black patients, by decreasing institutional racism and bias in healthcare and improving community-based social support during pregnancy.

The purpose of the study is to understand why it is the case that authors do not submit reproducible research compendia even when a policy requires it (and policy guidance explains how). To do so, the study looks toward the specific mechanisms that inhibit and/or facilitate execution of data management tasks that support reproducibility. Identifying these mechanisms can inform the design of interventions that better equip researchers to produce and share high-quality research compendia. Such interventions may reduce the amount of time and labor currently required for current data verification workflows, which in turn may make journal-based data policies more feasible for a greater number of journals.

The purpose of this study is to understand stakeholders' perspectives on engagement in lupus research as participants on a lupus patient stakeholder advisory board (SAB). This study assesses SAB engagement activities, stakeholders' perspectives on engagement in lupus research, and describe potential impacts of the SAB on research projects. SAB members will provide input on a variety of lupus research studies designed at UNC. Our aim is to assess SAB participants' perspectives on engagement with lupus research and perceptions (e.g., satisfaction, trust) of their role on the SAB providing input on lupus research, including topics identified as priorities for advancing lupus research and care outcomes. With this research, we aim to increase understanding of approaches and opportunities to effectively engage patient stakeholders in lupus research. This study will also explore stakeholders' perceptions of social support, in particular any sense of community or satisfaction derived from involvement in the lupus SAB.

A community-based team, composed of Donna Carrington, Executive Director of Community Empowerment Fund (CEF), Danielle Spurlock, PhD, Assistant Professor, UNC Department of City and Regional Planning, and Allison De Marco, MSW PhD, Research Scientist, UNC Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute and School of Social Work, are leading a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)-funded research project in Orange and Durham Counties, entitled, "Overcoming Structural Racism in Housing Stability and Wealth-building: Laying the Foundation for Community Health and Well Being." We'll be examining how CEF's services in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Durham are related to housing stability, the short-term and longer-term effects of housing stability on financial, social, physical, and psychological well-being, and the disparate impacts of climate change. As part of this work, we are interested in understanding the local policy and practice context, via a series of community-based listening sessions.

The purpose of this study is to develop a natural language processing (NLP)-based software tool to identify information related to rigor and transparency from RCT reports. These tools will assist stakeholders of clinical research in maintaining high reporting standards, synthesizing information on methodological quality, and fostering open science practices.

We are determining whether upper extremity function improves after surgery for patients presenting with upper extremity lymphedema.
