Unmet Needs: Equity in Prenatal Diagnosis

We are conducting a study to understand how diverse pregnant people make decisions about prenatal diagnosis when fetal anomalies are present. We will be conducting semi-structured interviews of individuals that have been in the above clinical situation to better understand how personal, community, and systems-level factors impact their decision making. We will also be studying the longitudinal impact of receiving genetic information during pregnancy, particularly among those that have undergone exome or genome sequencing for prenatal diagnosis.

Assessing Civic Knowledge, Civic Engagement, and Civic Identity in Recent North Carolina High School Graduates

High school is the last opportunity a state institution can ensure its next generation has a solid grasp of their country's past and present, its core principles, and obligations of responsible citizenship. The 2022-2023 school year will be the second year NC students are taking the Founding Principles of the United States and North Carolina: Civic Literacy classes and high school graduates will be a mixture of those who have taken the new civics course and those who will be able to graduate without taking it as a requirement. This study is important because it is attempting to assess the current knowledge, attitudes, and feeling of recent NC high school graduates who have a range of civic education opportunities. Teachers also provide an important perspective as they are end users of many policy decisions and are at the heart of providing civic education to high school students.

The Impact of Machine Learning Algorithm in Real Estate

The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of Zillow and their machine-learning algorithm Zestimate on the real estate market. We will interview real estate agents, home buyers, and home sellers to explore their experiences with this AI system. This case study comprises an intriguing example of not only the transformative power of algorithms in society but also how AI systems may transform the role of real estate agents as knowledge experts, and how effective partnerships between different stakeholders and AI can be achieved or hampered. The proposed research project aims to dive deep into this socio-technical phenomenon, focusing on the concept of human-AI collaboration and trustworthy AI, and how this new technology is disrupting societal and economic practices in a systemic fashion.

Racial Disparities and Barriers in the Delivery of Guideline-Recommended Care for Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Black men are diagnosed with prostate cancer more often than white men, and more commonly die from this disease. Care for advanced prostate cancer has improved a great deal over the past ten years, but these differences have continued. In order to improve equity in cancer care, we want to determine who is not getting the highest quality of care and whether race is associated with differences in care. Our study will ask Black and White men about their experiences with cancer care - if they trusted their doctors, how well their doctors communicated with them, and if they were satisfied with the care they received. We will ask about the challenges they experienced in receiving care, and what might have helped them get better care. We will use these results to design a better way to deliver care.
