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.

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.

The purpose of the study is to collect and analyze survey responses from patients who visit the outpatient diuresis clinic at UNC Eastowne in order to gain insights into their perspectives and experiences. Fiscal incentives to reduce the burden of hospital admissions have fueled interest in ambulatory strategies that can better manage heart failure, including clinic-based administration of IV diuretics. Given the clinic was started in 2017, quality improvement initiatives are necessary to continue to improve its services. This study will focus on the patient and collect qualitative data.

Because Black youth are dying by suicide at an alarming rate, this study addresses the interplay of how two dimensions of inequality impact suicide: 1. school-based mental health services and referrals; and 2. aggressive school disciplinary practices. Mental health symptoms in Black individuals may be "masked" as aggression and misinterpreted by school professionals as behavioral problems, reinforcing harsh disciplinary practices disproportionate in Black youth. Improved understanding of how these two dimensions influence suicide will inform upstream approaches to suicide prevention delivered in school settings and contribute to a sizeable gap in the literature in support of preventing Black youth from dying of suicide. We will collect a disparate set of data sets to describe the prevalence of these issues and conduct analyses that explore the relationship between disciplinary actions and mental health access with suicide. We will also interview school-based professional and administrators to understand their roles and understandings
