Assessing Civic Knowledge, Civic Engagement, and Civic Identity in Recent North Carolina High School Graduates

High school is the last opportunity a state institution can ensure its next generation has a solid grasp of their country's past and present, its core principles, and obligations of responsible citizenship. The 2022-2023 school year will be the second year NC students are taking the Founding Principles of the United States and North Carolina: Civic Literacy classes and high school graduates will be a mixture of those who have taken the new civics course and those who will be able to graduate without taking it as a requirement. This study is important because it is attempting to assess the current knowledge, attitudes, and feeling of recent NC high school graduates who have a range of civic education opportunities. Teachers also provide an important perspective as they are end users of many policy decisions and are at the heart of providing civic education to high school students.

More holistically, how is TikTok affecting how Gen Z consumers feel about environmental sustainability?

Cancer information on social media

Cancer information is widely shared on social media, however not all information is true. We aim to explore how social media designs, including in platform prompts and messages, can encourage individuals in cancer care networks to think about the quality and accuracy of cancer information shared online.

Black parents' socialization strategies

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.

Bladder cancer study with EG-70

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of EG 70, a gene therapy, which is given inside the bladder, and its effectiveness on eliminating bladder tumors in patients with NMIBC who have failed BCG therapy and have been recommended to have their bladder removed. Giving the study drug inside the bladder is to expose cells in the lining of the bladder, including your cancerous cells, to genes that may cause an immune response inside the bladder and kill the tumor cells.
