The purpose of this study is to create an educational video on colorectal cancer, screening and prevention, and clinical trials in Spanish in order to demonstrate a correlation between increased education and increased willingness to participate in clinical trials in the Latinx populations through local churches.
Research with blood and cells (generally called specimens) can help researchers understand how the human body works. Research can also answer other questions by using specimens. Researchers may develop new tests to find diseases, or new ways to treat diseases. In the future, research may help to develop new products, such as drugs. You are being asked for permission to use your biospecimens and medical records for this study. Using your biospecimens, researchers may be able to detect CAR-T cells in your body after you receive the CAR-T treatment. The purpose of this study is to validate the detection method of CAR-T cells in the blood to advance CAR-T therapy development.
This study will be the first to investigate potential linkages between early life adversity, parenting quality, child self-regulation, and biological aging during the critical period in early childhood when telomeres are eroding most rapidly and may be most susceptible to environmental input. The long-term goal is to determine how early adversity becomes biologically embedded in early childhood in order to prevent or mitigate risk to later health and wellness. Findings will provide important information to help in the development and/or optimization of early risk-mitigating intervention and prevention efforts to improve the quality of life for children.
The purpose of this study is to see if treating household contacts of MDR-TB patients (who are at high risk of developing TB) with delamanid will reduce their risk of developing TB compared to treatment with isoniazid. And if it is safe to treat household contacts of MDR-TB patients with delamanid.
We are collecting data on new aspects of the residency application process in internal medicine so that we (and other medical schools) can help better prepare and advise students in the future.
I will be interviewing people who work at uncommon, special types of archives, wanting to understand how they define and interact with "context," as a term and concept, on a daily basis. Their unique collections interest different types of users and visitors, and so the archivists may need to approach those conversations and descriptions differently too. I am interested to see how broad or specific they approach "context."
To study the use of long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI) among a racially, economically, and geographically diverse group of persons with HIV
The purpose of this study is to collect samples from patients with GI conditions that are coming to UNC for upper endoscopy as part of their clinical care. Samples will be stored and used for research to learn more about GI conditions.
To increase communication between provider and adolescent/parent about ADHD in order to improve ADHD symptoms, school and social performance, and quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to survey college students to assess their usage and nonusage of local public libraries.
