This study seeks to form a better understanding of factors that affect researchers' decisions regarding whether and how to measure and report fidelity of implementation strategies. Findings may provide insight into the significant decline in implementation strategy fidelity measurement/reporting quality over time and elucidate ways to improve fidelity measurement of implementation strategies going forward.

The death of a parent is a traumatic event for their surviving co-parents and minor children, yet there is a lack of resources and support for widowed parents. The study aims to (1) better understand the reasons that parents express interest in the Widowed Parent Moms' or Dads' Groups, and (2) receive parents' feedback on the program.

The purpose of this research study is to learn whether a brief parenting program called Child Adult Relationship Enhancement in Pediatric Primary Care (PriCARE) can help families by giving parents tools to succeed in parenting. Our hope is that the program can increase use of positive parenting strategies, decrease use of harsh or negative parenting, improve child behaviors, and decrease parenting stress.

Screening tool to collect broader demographic and clinical data. Enhance understanding of site specific and trial specific accrual barriers.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well the NC Department of Social Services' courses are helping their social workers to master the knowledge and skills outline by the NC Social Work Competencies.

The purpose of Project Open is to improve augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). The current study will focus on in-person interactions with AAC. It will focus on adults with ALS, cerebral palsy, and intellectual and developmental disabilities. We will video participants using AAC in everyday settings. We will video participants using AAC in planned ways. We will code the videos. We will look for problems that occur. We will look for the ways that problems are avoided. We will look for the ways that problems are repaired. The results will help us develop new AAC technology.

Research has shown that effective use of reading strategies contributes to reading comprehension. Thus far, most studies on reading strategy use have been conducted with second language (L2) readers of alphabetic languages such as English. There has been scant research on reading strategy use of Chinese as a second language (CSL) learners. Among the limited studies examining reading strategies employed by CSL learners, the majority were focused on advanced learner's reading strategies, and less attention has been devoted to intermediate-level learners. Furthermore, although a small number of studies investigating intermediate-level CLS learners' reading strategy use had both non-heritage and heritage participants, no comparison between the two groups was made. Given the vast differences of the learning profiles of heritage and non-heritage CSL students, it is possible that the reading strategies adopted by the two groups and the learning outcomes could be quite different. This study addresses this gap in literature.

This clinical registry is an observational study to collect prospective and retrospective data on subject health, wounds and wound care procedures from medical centers, including skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, outpatient clinics, Home Health and any other medical environment where wounds are treated.

This project examines the impact of Medicaid expansion in two states (RI and KY) on opioid overdose deaths (OOD), suicides, and homicides deaths among formerly incarcerated persons (FIPs) using a comparison state that has not expanded Medicaid (North Carolina). It will also detail state-specific models from Kentucky (KY) and Rhode Island (RI) for expanding Medicaid. The hypothesized benefits of Medicaid expansion include increased access to substance abuse and mental health services and increased opportunities for legal employment.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the impact of the Well-Being Initiative for Woman Faculty of Color (the "Program") on overall well-being, career advancement and professional success. The Program is designed for early and mid-career Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) women faculty at U.S. Schools of Pharmacy and Departments of Pharmacology at research-intensive institutions. The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, in collaboration with Houston Wellness Workshops for Women (H3W), has developed this two-year program to support the well-being and professional advancement of BIPOC women faculty in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences research. Participants in the study will take voluntary surveys during the Program to evaluate three factors: well-being, burnout, and self-efficacy in their professional academic roles before and after completing the Program.
