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.
We are gathering information and research to understand the experience and perception undergraduate students have to accessing information related to health services and resources online. We will be interviewing and surveying students, faculty, and administration of higher education institutions to determine what the assets and needs are in terms of accessible, fast care for students.
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.

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.
The purpose of this study is to see if an investigational drug called pazopanib can improve nosebleeds and anemia in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.
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.

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.
The utility of syndromic management for STIs is predicated on up-to-date information on the etiologies of the syndromes being treated. Periodic assessments of N. gonorrhoeae among women presenting to care with LAP and AVD+ are important for treatment guidelines. Additionally, assessing pharyngeal N. gonorrhoeae among women with genital infections, which has never been done in this population, is critical to ensure adequate treatment and prevent AMR.
