To determine the effect of multiple testing sessions on the performance in an attention task. The lateralized attentional network test (LANT) measures alerting, orienting, and executive control of attention. Six test sessions will be administered to examine stability, robustness, and reliability of the test. This study will be the first to examine if performance of the three attention networks in both hemispheres changes over time using the LANT. Therefore, the primary goal of this study is to examine the robustness, reliability, and stability of the three attention networks over repeated testing sessions.
We want to see if an antibody we created can help reduce symptoms of Lupus by restoring function in immune cells affected by Lupus. We will be taking blood as well as reviewing medical records and current and past disease activity.

The study will analyze data about how students use instructional resources to discover how the use of those resources relate to student demographics (i.e., who uses which resources and to what extent) and learning outcomes. The resources under study are specifically those involving peer instructors such as learning assistant-led recitations and office hours, peer tutoring, and interactions with peers on instructional communication platforms such as Sakai and Piazza.
to develop a prototype of the decision aid and assess the preliminary acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of using the tool to promote uptake of PrEP consultations among female STI and PrEP clinic clients in North Carolina.
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.
