The purpose of this research study is to follow new parents with cystic fibrosis for 5 years to learn more about how their health changes when they become parents. The information we gather in this study will be used to inform future interventions to help people with CF successfully prepare for and transition into parenthood
Purpose: To conduct a cluster RCT trial to compare the efficacy of the AD ACP Toolkit (intervention) vs usual care (control) on GOC discussions (primary outcome) in People Living with Dementia (PLwD), and other ACP practices such as preferred surrogate, decisional capacity, and portable ACP orders (secondary outcomes) over 18 months.
To build a state-wide blended instructional model to strengthen K-12 remote instruction, content, and access across North Carolina's rural and distressed communities.
To assess hepatitis C virus treatment and hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance within practices and gauge the feasibility of a program to implement point-of-care risk stratification tools and screening referral systems.
To spread awareness and resources about Long COVID within Eastern North Carolina to healthcare providers, community health workers, lay health advisors, and community leaders. The assessments and evaluations are intended to gather prior knowledge and knowledge gained about Long COVID as well as facilitation and overall effectiveness of the educational sessions.
We want to test whether clustering impacts a user's preference on a list of mini graphs (subgraphs) and if so, we will continue to research and conduct future studies on their impact.
To identify the skills needed to effectively manage a medical laboratory in today's healthcare system and to assess the gap in management training in new laboratory leaders.
To access and understand pulmonary function disease in an at risk population
The purpose of this study is to detail the successes and challenges from HIV self-screening (HIVSS) programs in South Africa, and provide suggestions to improve HIVSS policy guidelines in South Africa.
We aim to develop, field-test, and promote improved ways to measure and assess the public health hazards associated with sanitation systems and practices in sub-Saharan Africa, with the overall goal of informing sanitation planning and implementation at community levels. This will involve learning more about the range and distribution of sanitation technologies encountered in two cities of Africa (i.e., Kampala and Lusaka). Learning more about the levels of microbiological hazard in onsite sanitation systems especially septic tanks and other technology-specific lessons can be usefully incorporated in citywide sanitation improvement tools.
