I will study how many practices use Transitional Care Management or Chronic Care Management billing codes over time, and how these billing codes affect patient outcomes such as readmissions and emergency visits. In addition, I will interview practices as to why they choose to use or not use these billing codes.

We want to determine what approach elected prosecutors and those running for elected prosecutor are taking in cases involving adult possession of marijuana.

The purpose of this study is to understand if there are core differences present in the brain imaging scans of a fetus who has a limb difference. These imaging scans will be completed before and after the birth of the child. This study will also allow us to counsel families and provide education on the specified limb difference.

To compare the surgical site infection (SSI) rates of the current severe open fracture antibiotic strategy to a revised SEXTANT treatment strategy designed to address the modern wound bioburden at the time of wound closure or coverage.

The purpose of the study is to determine how the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN) researchers and their community partners are operationalizing the nine health equity Principles adopted by the network. The examples, acquired through in-depth interviews, will be used to develop a technical assistance toolkit for CPCRN and the general research community.

A case study of ten biomedical engineering programs in which two universities collaborate on at least a Ph.D. degree. The intent is to identify circumstances that lead to successful inter-university collaboration as measured by research output, including publications and patents, along with patent citations.

The goals of this research are to: (1) understand how hearing develops throughout the lifespan; (2) determine the factors associated with successful speech, language, and hearing outcomes for individuals spanning a wide range of ages and abilities; and (3) advance auditory assessment practices for both neurotypical and diverse populations.

This project will investigate how different types of search engines (e.g. Google) and generative AI systems (e.g. chatGPT) may help users when conducting information-seeking tasks. Our results will inform the design of search tools and increase our understanding of how generative AI systems can be integrated with search tools to assist users.

This study is comparing two approaches for monitoring and addressing symptoms among adult patients with kidney failure who are treated with hemodialysis. For the first approach patients use an electronic system twice a month to report their symptoms. The system sends alerts to their medical team at the dialysis clinic about the reported symptoms and gives suggestions about how to manage them. The system also provides reports that show patients and their medical team the reported symptoms over time. For the second approach patients complete a quality of life questionnaire that includes questions about symptoms once a year. The questionnaire does not have follow-up support like alerts, symptom management guidance, or reports. In addition, researchers will talk to patients, dialysis clinic personnel, and medical providers about their experiences using the electronic symptom monitoring system to learn about how to best use patient-reported outcome measures in dialysis care.
