The purpose of this research is to determine if college athletes at UNC are at risk for cavities. Because college athletes have specific diets and busy schedules, they may not know they are consuming foods that increase their risk for cavities. By using an assessment tool that is used to measure cavities risk, CAMBRA, we can survey the athletes diet and oral hygiene choices.

This study is an in-depth, qualitative research study with a longitudinal design that will assess if and how post-traumatic growth and radical healing are experienced among Black/African American youth (ages 13-18) exposed to racial trauma who participate in a YPAR intervention. Our longitudinal qualitative design, with quantitative integrated only for qualitative comparison by group purposes, allows us to explore shared patterns and differences across youth-serving contexts without neglecting person-level factors (i.e., racial identity and racism-related stress) that may impact the experience of post-traumatic growth and radical healing among Black/African American youth exposed to racial trauma. Our approach is grounded in the involvement and perspectives of youth and adult supporters in our respective communities.

Student researchers will develop a set of 10-15 infographics of interventions that incorporate the Safe Systems principles. This project will work closely with the NC Vision Zero team to gather input from key road safety partners across the country (e.g., the Vision Zero Network, and Families for Safe Streets) via interviews to identify interventions to highlight, collaborate with the design team at NC State's Institute for Transportation Research and Education to produce quality materials, and work with local NC communities to conduct usability testing of materials and create a dissemination plan for the NC Vision Zero team.

We will collect stem cells from individuals with autism to investigate brain development in sibling pairs who do not share a diagnosis of ASD, as well as examine associations between brain growth and variation in ASD-related behaviors.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effects of Sickle Cell Disease on the state of coagulation and effects on generation of certain coagulation proteins. People with sickle cell disease tend to have a higher rate of thrombosis which is not fully understood. Through this study, we hope to gain a better understanding of the effects of sickle cell disease on turning on coagulation that ultimately leads to a thrombotic event.

The purpose of this study is to understand how healthcare providers in primary care manage older adults with type 1 diabetes. We would like to understand whether they are managing them alone or with endocrinology as well as how comfortable providers are with diabetes management technology.
