Collect various specimens (spit, sputum, sweat, blood, etc) to bank for research purposes.
Study purpose is to determine proportion of pregnant women who have no symptoms but are COVID-19 positive
The SELIGO study assesses perceptions of HIV treatment - including long acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI ART) - among people living with HIV infection (PLWH) and HIV healthcare providers (HCPs) to develop strategies and tools to facilitate shared decision-making by patients and provider considering HIV therapy options.
We are interested in learning more about what concerns and challenges are being experienced by people with eating disorders during the COVID19 pandemic. We hope that answers to our survey questions will help provide information that can benefit people with eating disorders and the clinicians that provide treatment to them.
The purpose is to better understand the function of newly identified genes that when mutated cause the disease primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), or clinical disorders that share clinical features of PCD. PCD is a rare disease that is caused by defects in the structure or function of cilia that move mucus and inhaled foreign material, including bacteria and viruses, out of the airways. By understanding how the proteins encoded by these genes function and how this function is altered in disease, we may be able to improve the treatments available for PCD and other airway diseases.
The purpose of this study is to create new ways to prevent heart disease that help people, specifically African-Americans, access resources to live a healthy life using a "whole person" approach to cardiovascular disease and social needs, especially in high-need communities.
Our project aims to document how COVID-19 is changing schools and families, and to trace the ways these changes are shaping educational inequality. In collaboration with North Carolina's Guilford County Schools, we are surveying school leaders, teachers, and parents and guardians about the academic, material, and socio-emotional resources that school communities are collectively employing in response to the pandemic. Our analyses will document school school/family collaboration during the COVID-19 crisis; investigate racial and socioeconomic inequalities in access to school services and supports; and evaluate the consequences of school supports and school/family collaboration for learning loses during the pandemic-induced interruption in regular schooling. Ultimately, we hope this project will shed light on strategies that can mitigate the pandemic's potentially disastrous consequences for educational inequality.
The purpose of the study is to use a diagnostic evaluation and genetic testing to confirm a diagnosis of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) or Primary Immune Deficiencies (PID) in subjects who have presented with suppurative lung disease.
