The Back Pain Consortium (BACPAC) Research Program, a component of the NIH HEAL Initiative, is conducting a range of studies to better understand and treat chronic low back pain.  This online questionnaire is forclinicians who treat patients with low back pain and will gather information on how they assess their patients, how they decide on a treatment approach(es), and the research needed to improve care and outcomes for these patients. This information will be used by BACPAC researchers in the development of future research studies.

Individuals who suffer anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are at an increased risk of developing knee osteoarthritis, a condition that results in chronic pain and disability. The purpose of this research study is to determine if adding vibration to standard rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction surgery improves gait biomechanics (how your joints move while walking); muscle function; symptoms, disability, and quality of life; and indicators of knee joint health more effectively than rehabilitation alone.

Primary care and behavioral health providers who accept patients on Medicaid will be surveyed regarding their satisfaction with the current fee for service payment model and the managed care payment model that NC Medicaid is transitioning to.

The purpose of this research study is to learn about how family advocates/specialists/support workers perceive the families they work with and how they support their partnerships with diverse families.

This purpose of this activity is to assess whether validated newborn indicators are feasible to implement in health facilities in Bangladesh.

The Autism Research program is an on-going project that has 2 components. One involves permission to conduct Records Reviews of client data and the other is a Research Registry for permission to contact subjects about future research studies. The purpose of both components is to support research in the field of autism and to provide information to help others with this disability. The Records Review answers research questions based on existing subject records. The Research Registry assists research investigators with recruitment of subjects and confidentiality of subjects. The risk is not more than minimal.

This is a non-interventional, observational study to collect data on survival, quality of life, and other follow-up information on patients who receive GammaTile therapy.

The purpose of this study is to test a smartphone app that helps Black women with binge eating. First, participants in the study will complete interviews that help identify barriers and reasons that lead to binge eating in Black women with obesity. With that information, researchers will test and improve a smartphone app to include necessary intervention functions to reduce binge eating in the target population. Part of the testing process includes focus group sessions where participants will give feedback on : 1) organization and presentation, 2) content, 3) sensitivity to issues faced by Black women who binge eat; 4) therapeutic benefit; 5) user-friendliness; and 6) quality of intervention. All information collected from focus groups will be considered in the final version of the app.

We know that many children have unmet needs for care, leaving parents frustrated and discouraged. We hope, by documenting these challenges, and learning from families who have overcome them, that we can help all families.

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.
