The purpose of this research study is to learn more about Barrett's Esophagus and esophageal cancer by collecting data and samples (blood and tissue) for a biorepository. A biorepository is a large bank of specimens and data that are stored indefinitely and may be shared with other researchers.

This study explores the ethics and societal implications of research into new treatments for food allergies.

Our UNC-CH School of Social Work (SSW) team is collaborating with the North Carolina Department of Public Safety (NCDPS) to develop human trafficking identification and response protocols for North Carolina correctional settings. To inform the development of such protocols, we are conducting an environmental scan to determine how correctional settings (prisons and jails) across the United States are currently identifying and responding to victims of human trafficking.

The Relational Leadership at Carolina is an implementation and dissemination project. This project will: 1) refine and stabilize the Relational Leadership Institute (RLI) course for health professionals for the purpose of broad dissemination and implementation; 2) provide groundwork to support the catalyzing forces of Relational Leadership and build community through multiple approaches; and 3) establish a pathway and structured support for individuals to contribute to the program at all levels.

This partially randomized phase II/III trial studies how well cisplatin and combination chemotherapy works in treating children and young adults with hepatoblastoma or liver cancer after surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, etoposide, irinotecan, sorafenib, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving combination chemotherapy after surgery may kill more tumor cells.

This study trains health care providers in a children's asthma clinic to talk to families about concerns about the financial cost of asthma care. We will examine whether training providers increases the number of cost conversations and families' satisfaction with care.
