This study is to see if a special type of ultrasound can detect fluid in lungs, with the ultimate goal that maybe this ultrasound technique can be used in the future to help patients with heart failure.

To evaluate the demographic, psychosocial, parenting and family characteristics associated with grief and depression severity in bereaved parents with dependent children.

Hypothesis: The development of patient-focused tools and care processes will enable a transition from predominantly office-based CF care to a more convenient, co-produced model. The increased utilization of remote care will be associated with improved adherence to disease monitoring and complication screening guidelines and will increase patient satisfaction. Specific Aims: 1. Customize a patient-facing smartphone application (Nudge) designed to "coach" each patient toward a co-produced goal of convenient and effective health monitoring within the context of enhanced remote care. 2. Develop care processes that facilitate monitoring of respiratory status at home, using home spirometry and remote sputum collection, that include education, electronic reminders, and specimen collection/shipping supplies 3. Implement care processes that allow convenient access to necessary screening procedures, using the Nudge application to provide well-timed electronic reminders and track performance of screening tests.

To learn if one kind of treatment approach, either (1) endoscopic surveillance or (2) endoscopic eradication therapy, is better, the same, or worse for treating patients with Barrett's esophagus and low-grade dysplasia.

The purpose of this project is to gather information from different group to adapt a community-based treatment intervention for community-dwelling individuals with psychosis in Malawi. In this study, we will interview patients, caregivers, community leaders, traditional healers, and clinicians to better tailor this treatment approach to address the needs of this population

The goal of the study is to examine how North Carolina school districts spent funds made available through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief legislation.

We are exploring what primary care physicians feel is important for them to know about nutrition given their clinical experience, how they would have liked to learn nutrition during their medical training, and desired ways to support them in providing nutrition care in their current practice. We are also evaluating a tool that may make nutrition counseling easier and more efficient for providers. The results of the study can potentially lead to improvements in nutrition training in medicine and quality of nutrition care.

Only 11% of Malawi's population has access to electricity. Solar home systems offer a low cost source of reneweable energy to households without access to reliable and affordable electricity grid infrastructure. Our study explores the impact of adoption and use of solar home systems on access to lighting services, access to charging services for phones and appliances, and overall well-being as a result of improvements in living conditions. We hope to inform policy makers in Southern Africa about the potential and limitations of supporting solar home systems uptake as a strategy for addressing severe energy access in the region.

This study plans to learn more about two treatment approaches for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in patients who have cystic fibrosis (CF) and the outcomes. The two treatment approaches this study intends to learn about are endoscopic sinus surgery (a surgical treatment used to clean out infection from your nose and sinuses) and continued medical treatment without surgery.

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.
