Our goal is to examine differences in 250 AL communities' preparedness for and response to COVID-19 across 7 states, and how preparedness and response varies by a) AL characteristics (e.g. provision of memory care for residents with ADRD, chain affiliation), b) medical and mental health care provision (e.g., on-site medical care, medical directorship, proportion of residents with the same provider), and c) relates to resident outbreaks.
Aim 1: Among key stakeholders in NC impacted by HIV molecular surveillance (HMS) activities, we aim to assess the ethical concerns surrounding the implementation of HMS and related pubic health services and research by: 1a) Characterizing stakeholders' awareness, experiences with, and sources of information AND 1b) Examining perceptions, including perceived risks and benefits and other ethical considerations, and the opportunities for enhancement of community engagement practices Aim 2: To develop a community-engaged partnership framework to promote effective communication and community participation regarding HMS, and related health services and research.
In order to improve the biomedical research environment at UNC-Chapel Hill, we are developing new training opportunities and evaluating how well they work
This study will help us learn more about how strongly our Triple P professional networks, both individual and organizational, in North Carolina and South Carolina are connected. We'll use this information to help create or sustain network connections to promote effective implementation of the Triple P Positive Parenting Program.
To develop novel PROs for evaluating QoL among patients after IPAA, including those with acute pouchitis and chronic pouch-related conditions.
The purpose of Heroes Health is to support COVID-19 worker health.
The purpose of this research study is to understand if convalescent plasma is a potential therapy and to understand the immune response to COVID-19 infection. Understanding the immune system's response after infection will help to inform vaccine design and the potential role of antibodies as therapeutics in the setting of COVID-19 infection and disease.
The goal of this study is to see if it is feasible to use electronic questionnaires to measure patient related outcomes before, during, and after radiation for gynecologic cancer in a high-volume radiation oncology clinic.
The purpose of this study is to determine which new magnetic resonance sequences provide better, faster and more useful information. A sequence is a distinct method of obtaining magnetic resonance (MR) images. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam is made up of many different imaging sequences. These new sequences will be implemented on either on a 3 Tesla (3T) MR system, a 7 Tesla (7T) MR system (single- or multi- transmit), or both. Since the signal-to-noise ratio for MR images is highly dependent on the magnetic field strength, the anticipated signal-to-noise will be 7T greater than 3T and 3T greater than 1.5T systems. The 3T MR system is FDA approved whereas the 7T system is not FDA approved, but is built to the same standards as other FDA approved scanners. In addition, the FDA has approved magnetic field strength up to 8T for human imaging. Participants will be told ahead
This study aims to define new forms of diabetes that are not yet understood. Participants will be asked to provide medical and family history and may be asked to have clinical lab testing performed.
