To determine the feasibility of measuring center of pressure in preterm infants at term equivalent age on a force plate in the NICU setting.
The purpose of the study is to analyze if asking questions on polarizing topics reduces response quality The study will analyze the research question using an experiment. Respondents will be randomly assigned to one of two main conditions. The experimental group will receive uncomfortable or embarrassing true-or-false questions about their political party, depending on what party they identify with. The questions are factual but may be perceived as biased or polarizing. The control group will receive 3 true-or-false questions about Democrats and 3 true-or-false questions about Republicans. Later, the researcher will compare instances/rates of satisficing, affective polarization, sentiment codes, internal consistency, conformity, and truthfulness between the experimental and control groups.
This study aims to understand implementation of Restorative Practices in selected NC public elementary schools, the reason for implementation failures and successes in selected schools, and the underlying causes of such failures and successes.
To conduct focus groups and semi-structured interviews of parents with cancer - and their co-parents - about their experiences communicating with their minor children about cancer to inform the development of a communication intervention support tool.
We are studying how young people respond to vaping prevention video ads. We are inviting people aged 13-20 to participate in this research. Participants will watch some short videos about vaping and answer a survey. The whole process will take approximately 20 minutes. Feedback will help improve future vaping prevention efforts.

We are conducting this study to see how well athletes with blood clots are able to manage their blood thinner around training and competition.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate both sporadic (not inherited), and familial (inherited), forms of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Patients include both those who have symptoms of FTLD and those who do not (yet have a family history involving FTLD). This is an observational study, meaning that there is no investigational treatment involved. We will be working with patients for up to a 5 year period to learn more about FTLD using a neurological exam, tests of memory, behavior, and judgement, MRI, and biospecimen collection (blood and/or CSF). This study involves genetic testing of the genes so far identified to be associated with FTLD. The overall goal is to help better understand FTLD, to better understand the genetics of FTLD, and to use the information we learn to guide improved patient care and potential drug development.
