This study seeks to understand how offering and receiving prenatal screening and diagnosis has changed with abortion legislation changing since July 2022.

The research study seeks to improve the effectiveness of warnings for little cigars and cigarillos (LCCs) among youth who currently use, have ever used, or are susceptible to using LCCs

The purpose of this study is to understand how people participate in a professional community of practice about water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in healthcare facilities. We are conducting an online survey to understand how members of this community of practice prefer to participate (e.g., what types of activities) and what barriers they experience to participation.

The transition from functioning as an intern in the first year of residency to leading inpatient teams in the second year of residency and beyond is a challenging one for internal medicine trainees. We seek to understand how best to help our trainees navigate this transition by conducting a needs assessment of current internal medicine residents in small focus groups. Through these meetings we will collect and aggregate the experiences of residents who have made this transition, and use their feedback, challenges, and suggested areas for growth to build a curriculum designed to empower trainees to make this transition with confidence. We aim to publish our findings to assist other training programs in addressing this same issue, however our primary goal is to use our findings internally to improve our resident experience as well as patient care.

This study will look at how different characteristics of people (age, income, etc.) impacts their willingness to pay higher prices for responsibly produced goods. This information will help businesses understand the effects of the increased prices associated with sustainability and responsible production, and recognize if their potential consumer base is affected.

We are interested in learning about current knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors related locally transmitted malaria in the United States.

The purpose of this research study is to understand how people decide whether or not to have cardiac devices implanted in their bodies after meeting indications for treatment. It will examine the ways people make decisions about their devices in everyday life. This study will also consider the roles of external influences, including family and community, in how people make decisions about how to use their devices. Participation in this study will consist of a thirty-minute to one-hour interview. Research is designed to benefit society by gaining new knowledge. You will not benefit personally from being in this research study. There are no known risks involved with this study.

We are implementing a digital health intervention, mPATH-Cloud, in one community health center. Patients who receive a link to the mPATH-Cloud website will be able to view a video designed to help them choose the colorectal cancer (CRC) screening test that is best for them. Patients who select colonoscopy will receive a referral from their primary care provider. Patients who do not select colonoscopy will receive a FIT in the mail. We will assess the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing mPATH-Cloud in combination with mailed FIT outreach for increasing CRC screening among community health center patients.

The purpose of this project is to create and distribute a survey with the intent to collect data about the amount and quality of training critical care physicians receive regarding brain death (i.e., death by neurologic criteria). We are doing because teaching physicians about brain death is not standardized and the subject is complex.

Tobacco use is not only the leading preventable cause of disease, disability, and death in North Carolina and the United States, but it also has uniquely damaging impacts on oral health. All forms of tobacco are well known to cause oral cancer, gum disease, and other oral health issues. The purposes of this study are to: 1) measure educational outcomes of dental students and providers from implementing a pilot interprofessional tobacco cessation resource program in the dental setting and 2) explore the impact of such a program on associated patient outcomes.
