The expected outcome of this proposal is a novel care pathway delivered by pharmacists to improve side effects during oral chemotherapy for patients, a known barrier to adherence, and ultimately to prevent progression and early mortality. Our long-term goal for P3OC is to develop and test new dashboard features to optimize pharmacy care and meet future needs for value-based payment models

The primary objective of the proposed project is to demonstrate the effects of limited physical facility infrastructure, diminished supplies, and gaps in Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) knowledge among Healthcare Personnel on IPC practice implementation at the health facility level to inform efficient and effective future improvement efforts.

we propose the creation of a prospective multi-center registry of patients with IBD and EIM, initially focusing on peripheral arthritis, the most common and understudied EIM, to better understand clinical course and management.

The purpose of this research is to assess the effectiveness and safety of cochlear implantation in children and adult patients, aged 5 years and older, with unilateral hearing loss/single-sided deafness (UHL/SSD) to support a change in indication for use.

Purpose: to establish a Registry of pediatric patients treated with proton radiation therapy. Participants: Patients who are less than or equal to 21 years old at time of treatment start and treated with radiation therapy at one of the participating centers. Procedures (methods): This Proton and Photon Consortium Registry (PPCR) enrolls children treated with radiation therapy to form an expansive description of the pediatric population that receives protons and to better catalogue the benefits of protons, in this cohort. The data will also be used to evaluate practice differences and help facilitate collaborative research across the various radiation centers. The PPCR collects an expanded set of demographic and clinical data that will enhance the practice data that many participating radiation centers already collect in their routine operations. The PPCR has been expanded to include a photon-treated control group, helping to facilitate comparative effectiveness analysis.

This study will evaluate the impact of standing orders support for the whole primary care team on HPV vaccine communication and uptake.

Studies have highlighted that Black youth report greater discrimination experiences and that these experiences adversely impact their psychological well-being. With that said, Black parents may utilize a range of parenting practices to foster positive identity development and well-being as well as provide strategies for negotiating racialized contexts. Though studies are often focused on mothers, few studies have captured fathers' accounts of their parenting practices. This investigation examines socialization practices and strategies among Black fathers and mothers.

We are determining whether upper extremity function improves after surgery for patients presenting with upper extremity lymphedema.

A community-based team, composed of Donna Carrington, Executive Director of Community Empowerment Fund (CEF), Danielle Spurlock, PhD, Assistant Professor, UNC Department of City and Regional Planning, and Allison De Marco, MSW PhD, Research Scientist, UNC Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute and School of Social Work, are leading a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)-funded research project in Orange and Durham Counties, entitled, "Overcoming Structural Racism in Housing Stability and Wealth-building: Laying the Foundation for Community Health and Well Being." We'll be examining how CEF's services in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Durham are related to housing stability, the short-term and longer-term effects of housing stability on financial, social, physical, and psychological well-being, and the disparate impacts of climate change. As part of this work, we are interested in understanding the local policy and practice context, via a series of community-based listening sessions.

Black men are diagnosed with prostate cancer more often than white men, and more commonly die from this disease. Care for advanced prostate cancer has improved a great deal over the past ten years, but these differences have continued. In order to improve equity in cancer care, we want to determine who is not getting the highest quality of care and whether race is associated with differences in care. Our study will ask Black and White men about their experiences with cancer care - if they trusted their doctors, how well their doctors communicated with them, and if they were satisfied with the care they received. We will ask about the challenges they experienced in receiving care, and what might have helped them get better care. We will use these results to design a better way to deliver care.
