We aim to develop, field-test, and promote improved ways to measure and assess the public health hazards associated with sanitation systems and practices in sub-Saharan Africa, with the overall goal of informing sanitation planning and implementation at community levels. This will involve learning more about the range and distribution of sanitation technologies encountered in two cities of Africa (i.e., Kampala and Lusaka). Learning more about the levels of microbiological hazard in onsite sanitation systems especially septic tanks and other technology-specific lessons can be usefully incorporated in citywide sanitation improvement tools.
The purpose of this research study is to collect and store blood samples from patients with heart disease at UNC-Chapel Hill for use in future research. Investigators will use these blood samples to identify new ways to measure substances made by our bodies that may help predict risk for developing heart disease or response to certain medications.
The purpose of this project is to complete the complete CVI Range assessment (Roman-Lantzy, 2018) and the Communication Matrix (Rowland, 2011) on a group of children with Angelman syndrome.
