We are surveying Internal Medicine Residents about their knowledge and attitudes regarding open notes for patient documentation. Understanding their knowledge level will allow us to provide education in the future
To test the pay-it-forward strategy as a means of increasing rates of testing for gonorrhea
This project studies how our ability to hear with two ears changes as we age or develop hearing loss.
Our experimental aims are to 1) evaluate two methods for collecting dried blood spots (i.e., finger prick versus Tasso M20) and 2) examine correlations between psychological variables and pro-inflammatory markers. To achieve these, we will be implementing a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) and plan to assess its effectiveness in student success (e.g., academic performance, involvement in research, and retention in STEM).
This study seeks to qualitatively evaluate and understand UNC Family Medicine Center's transition to value-based care.
The primary objective for this registry is to prospectively study the natural history of IBD, the prevalence and incidence of comorbidities, and targeted adverse events, as well as the utilization patterns and the comparative effectiveness and comparative safety of approved IBD treatments.

Participants in this study are asked to read a list of words, then sort the words into categories based on their vowel sounds (ignoring letters). We are trying to find out how different two sounds have to be acoustically before speakers consider them to be linguistically different.
Cities are hot during daytime in summer time - much hotter than their surrounding vegetated, often forested rural areas. This effect, the Urban Heat Island Effect, is determined by building materials, human activity, and urban vegetation. But how does it affect individual thermal comfort? We are interested in understanding relationships between temperature and thermal comfort in urban areas.
The main objective of this study is to develop methods for forecasting passenger waiting times in TSA lines at RDU airport.
