The proposed project seeks to further our understanding of how teachers improve over time-and specifically how white teachers can become more effective teachers to students of color-by bridging three previously distinct literatures in education research: the returns to teaching experience, teacher peer effects, and the impacts of racial representation in the teaching force.

The purpose of this project is to identify and target barriers faced by rural endometrial cancer patients in order to develop a patient navigation intervention. Rural residents with endometrial cancer, the most prevalent gynecologic cancer in the US, have higher odds of mortality than urban endometrial cancer patients. As the number of new endometrial cancer cases is expected to increase 50% by 2030, this urban-rural disparity is expected to continue widening.

The purpose of this study is to see how safe and tolerable SLGN is, and how well it reduces the amount of hepatitis B virus in people with CHB and HIV. Results from this study could help evaluate whether SLGN can lower the amount of hepatitis B virus in blood and prevent illness in people with CHB and HIV, without the need for life-long therapy. SLGN has not been tested in people with HIV

The purpose of this study is to assess two implementation strategies for the brief alcohol reduction intervention (BAI) for people with HIV (PWH) attending the study ART clinics, and it is designed to help PWH reduce alcohol use and increase ART adherence. As part of this study, you would receive the BAI to assist you with developing skills and strategies to cut down or quit your alcohol use. BAI includes 2 in-person and 2 booster telephone sessions. Face-to-face 45-minute sessions occur ~1 month apart and 10-minute telephone sessions occur 2 to 3 weeks after each face-to-face session.

The purposes of this study are to: 1) measure educational outcomes of dental students and providers from implementing a pilot interprofessional tobacco cessation resource program in the dental setting and 2) explore the impact of such a program on associated patient outcomes.
