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.

Screening tool to collect broader demographic and clinical data. Enhance understanding of site specific and trial specific accrual barriers.

To examine the effect of certain medications on the amount of placental DNA in the blood of pregnant women.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well the NC Department of Social Services' courses are helping their social workers to master the knowledge and skills outline by the NC Social Work Competencies.

The purpose of Project Open is to improve augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). The current study will focus on in-person interactions with AAC. It will focus on adults with ALS, cerebral palsy, and intellectual and developmental disabilities. We will video participants using AAC in everyday settings. We will video participants using AAC in planned ways. We will code the videos. We will look for problems that occur. We will look for the ways that problems are avoided. We will look for the ways that problems are repaired. The results will help us develop new AAC technology.

The purpose of this study is to explore the associations of mental health symptoms on athlete response to injury. This will help athletic trainers, who predominantly deal with athlete injuries, treat the emotional aspect of injuries. It will also help improve how athletic trainers identify athletes at risk for a negative response to injury.

Research has shown that effective use of reading strategies contributes to reading comprehension. Thus far, most studies on reading strategy use have been conducted with second language (L2) readers of alphabetic languages such as English. There has been scant research on reading strategy use of Chinese as a second language (CSL) learners. Among the limited studies examining reading strategies employed by CSL learners, the majority were focused on advanced learner's reading strategies, and less attention has been devoted to intermediate-level learners. Furthermore, although a small number of studies investigating intermediate-level CLS learners' reading strategy use had both non-heritage and heritage participants, no comparison between the two groups was made. Given the vast differences of the learning profiles of heritage and non-heritage CSL students, it is possible that the reading strategies adopted by the two groups and the learning outcomes could be quite different. This study addresses this gap in literature.

This clinical registry is an observational study to collect prospective and retrospective data on subject health, wounds and wound care procedures from medical centers, including skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, outpatient clinics, Home Health and any other medical environment where wounds are treated.
