Liver injury due to prescription and non-prescription medication is medical, scientific, and public health problem of increasing frequency and importance in United States. Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is the most common reason the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would choose not to approve a new drug or withdraw a drug from the market. However, drug-induced liver injuries are often under-reported and difficult to detect/diagnose. This study seeks to learn more about these drug-induced liver injuries and develop better ways to detect, define, and study drug-induced liver injuries. The study will be looking at new cases of drug-induced liver injury, as well as gathering data on previous drug-induced liver injury (up to January 1, 1994).
Domestic violence intervention programs (DVIPs), also known as batterer intervention programs (BIPs), are court-mandated and self-referred programs designed to address domestic violence perpetration through psycho-educational approaches and/or cognitive behavioral therapy. By building on the extant evidence base and conducting formative research, we will identify DVIPs that have demonstrated effectiveness and innovative practices, including the utilization of restorative justice frameworks, and assess their curricula, service delivery approaches, partnerships, and administrative structures. We will use this information as the basis to determine DVIP best practices, with the goal of improved outcomes in mitigating domestic violence.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been gaining lots of attention in the media due to the recent advancements within the technology. With all of the new found uses of AI there has been a lot of opinions and concerns regarding what AI means for the future. News articles and social media posts have been publishing articles that have been influencing public opinion of AI. With this study, I hope to determine the actual perception of AI by the public. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a correlation between a person's awareness/knowledge of AI and their level of fear around AI. I hope to answer the following questions: How does AI awareness contribute to an individual's level of fear of AI? How does AI awareness and fear influence career choices and decisions? How does AI awareness and fear affect peoples' views around job stability? My goal is to
The purpose of this study is to understand individuals experiences in supervisory and leadership roles in organizations. Leaders may engage in a variety of behaviors at work. The goal is to understand how these differing behaviors influence how leaders perceive their image that, then, influences their subsequent behaviors--of them engaging in effective leader interactions with employees and ineffective leader interactions with employees. The projects serves as the undergraduate honors thesis and will contribute to theory and research in the organizational sciences on leadership and employee-leader interactions.
To determine the effect of dual targeted therapy with an anti-integrin (vedolizumab [VDZ]) and a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor (tofacitinib [TOF]) on clinical remission.
The purpose is to understand people's individual experience at work as well as the way people experience interactions with others at work.
We are investigating whether appropriate lung screening guidelines are being followed.
Foster children are a vulnerable population in the US. One study found that youth who have a history of foster care had higher levels of oral health issues and less access to dental care compared with children who do not have a history of foster care. The purpose of this study is to learn the knowledge, attitudes, and experiences of foster caregivers in North Carolina and how dental care and oral health behaviors of their foster children are affected as a result of these factors. With this information, oral health interventions for the foster care community can be created.
This project seeks to broaden and improve the efficacy of library staff to support communities in crisis and to build a Field Guide that library staff can use to achieve this goal. The Field Guide's purpose is to prepare public library staff to support historically marginalized youth and families during current and future crises (such as pandemics, hurricanes, water supply, energy, wildfire, etc.) and the consequences of such crises (gaps in fundamental literacy, limited access to information, disparities in learning opportunities, etc.)
This project proposes to conduct a needs assessment of Arabic-speaking patients who visit the UNC Family Medicine Center at Chapel Hill to refine existing peri-visit communication workflows. The needs assessment will be done in collaboration with the Refugee Community Partnership (RCP) and will involve focus groups of their members to better assess clinic peri-visit communication needs. The goal is to deliver Arabic language-expansion interventions to clinic leadership that address these needs and implement at least one concrete communication workflow change.
