determine the acceptability, safety, preliminary effectiveness and overall feasibility of a prophylaxis-for-all approach.
The purpose of this project is to create and distribute a survey with the intent to collect data about the amount and quality of training critical care physicians receive regarding brain death (i.e., death by neurologic criteria). We are doing because teaching physicians about brain death is not standardized and the subject is complex.
We want to know if members of editorial boards of psychological science journals: (a) are fully aware of the data quality issues associated with careless responding study participants and (b) whether they tend to insist that studies be screened for such data prior to being published in their journals.
This project tests a short, evidence-based video to help educate patients about effective and safe pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies for acute musculoskeletal pain (MSP). Subjects will be randomly placed into one of two study groups: intervention (educational video) and usual care. Patients will be contacted at baseline and at 1 and 3 months after the date of their acute visit encounter for follow-up. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the success of the video intervention for improving pain recovery and preventing long-term opioid use among adults with musculoskeletal pain.
Trauma informed practices include a wide range of potential policies and actions that schools can implement with the goal of supporting students better. I am interested in further understanding what these practices include and what effect they have on the students and staff at the school. In order to explore these questions, this study focuses on one school's experience with implementing trauma informed educational policies. Interviews with school staff will aid in understanding what these policies look like in practice, as well as their benefits and limitations.
The purpose of this study is to understand how different amounts of time between seeing similar word pairs affect new learning and later memory for those word pairs (e.g., knee-bone vs. knee-bend).
The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency of HbA1c testing in Lumbee communities and address what factors influence the rate of lab testing of Lumbee people.
The purpose of this study is to identify barriers to health care access for people with a disability. In this first phase of the study, we are concentrating on the Center for Rehabilitation Care at UNC. We are conducting focus groups with people familiar with the clinic to find out what problems they are encountering with making appointments, getting to the clinic, communicating with staff and doctors, and feeling respected and appreciated. Based on the focus group information, we will design and test a survey.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the social, cultural, and financial factors that influence the lives and careers of cruise ship musicians and entertainers.
