Only 11% of Malawi's population has access to electricity. Solar home systems offer a low cost source of reneweable energy to households without access to reliable and affordable electricity grid infrastructure. Our study explores the impact of adoption and use of solar home systems on access to lighting services, access to charging services for phones and appliances, and overall well-being as a result of improvements in living conditions. We hope to inform policy makers in Southern Africa about the potential and limitations of supporting solar home systems uptake as a strategy for addressing severe energy access in the region.

Pregnancy complications are increasing in the United States, and this is worse for Black patients, who are 3-4 times more likely to die from pregnancy than White patients. Pregnancy complications and deaths cause large physical, social, and financial burdens for patients and their families. Our study aims to decrease pregnancy complications for all patients, but especially for Black patients, by decreasing institutional racism and bias in healthcare and improving community-based social support during pregnancy.

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 utility of syndromic management for STIs is predicated on up-to-date information on the etiologies of the syndromes being treated. Periodic assessments of N. gonorrhoeae among women presenting to care with LAP and AVD+ are important for treatment guidelines. Additionally, assessing pharyngeal N. gonorrhoeae among women with genital infections, which has never been done in this population, is critical to ensure adequate treatment and prevent AMR.

The purpose of this study is to try and understand what speech and language pathologists (SLPs), or speech therapists, do in conversations with children who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) to communicate.

The purpose of the TEACH Study is to collect data on whether mood symptoms and estrogen levels change during the first month after hysterectomy for uterine fibroids and/or abnormal uterine bleeding. These results may help us understand whether mood symptoms and hormone levels change during this time, which will help us better support women who undergo this surgery in the future. During this study, we will collect mood questionnaires and hormone levels (sometimes in blood and sometimes in saliva) weekly through the first month after surgery.

PharmAlliance is a global partnership between the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, Monash University Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and UCL School of Pharmacy. Numerous achievements such as publications, grants, student exchanges, and teaching innovations have resulted from this international alliance. Existing research, however, does not look into specific characteristics of successful international collaborations. In this observational study, collaborators in PharmAlliance will be surveyed and interviewed in order to determine characteristics of successful international teams in pharmacy and more broadly.
