Grocery shopping behaviors and the use of nudges to promote healthier beverage intake among low-income children

The purpose of this study is to understand the behaviors and attitudes related to online grocery shopping among parents with children age 1-5 years old. The aim is to develop online food retail nudges to discourage fruit drink purchases and promote healthier substitutes. The ultimate goal is to decrease consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages in childhood as these are associated with increased risk of diet-related chronic diseases, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Interviews with breast medical oncologists about discussing prognosis and using a prognostic tool

Our team developed a calculator to help oncologists better estimate prognosis in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Using this information, our team developed a prognostic calculator to predict risk of death within 30 days for patients with MBC. For this information to impact care, it will have to be used in clinical practice. In order to increase the likelihood of successful adoption of the calculator into clinical practice, we will study its implementation and evaluate its impact. In this study, we will seek the input of doctors, nurses, and advance practice providers who care for patients with MBC to better understand the factors that encourage and dissuade discussion of prognosis and use of such a prognostic tool.

antiseizure medication and seizure networks in Severe acute brain injury

We want to assess If the abnormal network patterns seen in seizure networks of epilepsy have similar implications when observed in patients with severe acute brain injury and therefore are modulated by antiseizure medication (ASM). If those networks respond to the ASM, then they may have a relationship with epileptogenic brain activity in this clinical context too and therefore could benefit from ASM even though they do not present ictal activity on their EEG.
