Some female cancers may be genetic, meaning they are passed down from a parent through DNA (our genetic code or roadmap). In people with certain types of ovarian and uterine cancer, it may be helpful to test their DNA for any errors that can cause cancer. There are lots of important pieces of information to share when someone is diagnosed with cancer, and we are exploring a new way to share information. Patients with certain types of ovarian or uterine cancers will watch a short video that explains what genetic testing is and why it is so important. They will fill out a survey about what they think about the video and if the information is helpful.

We are recruiting 216 people at events in the community to look at different types of educational materials about genomics. We will survey them before and after to see if and how their knowledge and willingness to participate in research was affected. Then, we will ask 30 of those people to participate in a 45-60 minute interview over Zoom. This will help us to gather more information about their preferences and attitudes toward genomic research. We will be recruiting from a diverse group of people and offering materials in both English and Spanish. The purpose of this is to improve health literacy and willingness of participate in genomic research in order to improve health equity.
A survey about long-acting injectable medications will be sent to pharmacists in North Carolina who work in the community or outpatient settings.
This research will examine the variable ways that people have used and interpreted collections related to the Greensboro Massacre in Wilson Library, and how they conceptualize their research in relation to memory, history, and justice. This project will involve semi-structured interviews with five to eight researchers, working to understand how the interviewees interpret and disseminate their findings from the archive. Afterwards, I will compare interview responses, in order to trace common and divergent themes. I will interview both academic researchers, as well as community historians and activists.
The purpose of this study is to understand community perception and public use of the Bolin Creek Greenway prior to the completion of the trail.

The purpose of this research study is to understand how the North Carolina Public Health Leadership Institute's Program, Leading with Equity (NCPHLI Equity), can best support North Carolina public health leaders who are committed to centering equity within their organizations. To assess satisfaction among cohorts I and II of NCPHLI Equity, as well as determine if the program met its learning goals, participants will be asked to complete a 15-minute interview on Zoom. Themes from these interviews will be used to inform future recommendations for this program.
