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.
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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility implementing Integrative Medical Group Visits (IMGVs) for patients with chronic pain in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). IMGVs are an innovative way of delivering care for patients with chronic pain, combining medical care, group support, health education, and experiential activities such as mindfulness, chair yoga, and self-massage. IMGVs have been studied before and found to be helpful for patients. In this study, we are evaluating how to implement IMGVs into community health centers that receive funding from the federal government to provide care to patients regardless of ability to pay---called FQHCs. We will look at outcomes related to effectiveness of IMGVs to address chronic pain, as well as cost to the patients and clinic, acceptability and feasibility of delivering the program, and sustainability of keeping IMGVs going at the clinic over time.
The purpose of this study is to tell if a disinfectant wipe with a blue dye additive increases the thoroughness of cleaning and disinfection and reduces contamination.
This research study aims to identify the national need of family medicine residency educators regarding point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education and resources. The study will collect data on the state of POCUS education and resources at medical universities across the country through an optional survey sent to faculty who are members of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine. The questions in the survey focus on the respondee's level of POCUS training, use of POCUS in their day-to-day practice, and desire for different forms of POCUS content to integrate into their residency programs. The data will be collected and evaluated using Qualtrics.
The purpose of this study is to measure different immmune markers in the nasal lining in healthy patients taking Flonase, an over-the-counter steroid nasal spray.
Our study aims to understand the motivation and attitude of Telehealth participation among doctors.
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.
