To learn how participants of past research studies are doing 1-5 years after completing the T-STEP program
The purpose of this study is to understand how saltwater intrusion affected farmer's use of their cropland, and the quantities and quality of the crops harvested on croplands that have been suffering from saltwater intrusion. We also plan to understand what are the strategies people usually deal with saltwater intrusion.
This survey study aims to identify barriers and facilitators to enhancing behavioral health content within geriatric fellowships through surveying geriatric fellowship program directors.
This research will study the relationship between Wikipedia, searchability, and visibility of prominent academics, who may benefit from additional visibility in order to learn more about how they view the risks and benefits of visibility.
Vietnamese Americans in North Carolina have vibrant diversity in origin stories - in pursuit of political freedom (Dang 2008), access to higher quality education (Ngo 2007), and religious freedom (Phan 2023) among many others. As such, the purpose of the study is to identify unique immigration stories from the Vietnamese American diaspora in North Carolina. The discussions of food will be utilized to investigate personal immigration stories; ultimately, the study will observe the generational effects of immigration and the impact of food on their relationship with their community.
This project will focus on identifying and addressing socio-economic barriers to healthcare (e.g., education, transportation/access) for patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Lupus Nephritis (LN). This pilot program aims to expand supportive services and education to mitigate healthcare barriers, by: 1) enhancing access to tangible transportation support systems to improve healthcare access; and 2) utilizing Pharmacist Counseling and Patient Educational Materials to increase awareness and knowledge of the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, medication adherence, and routine screenings (e.g., urine protein creatinine ratio and urinalysis) for improved health outcomes.
The TIMELY impact evaluation is a tracking study to evaluate the extent to which patients with lupus from North Carolina who are under the care of TIMELY-trained providers (rheumatologists, primary care providers, nephrologists, dermatologists) or have connected with local Community Health Workers (CHWs) have increased intentions and willingness to participate in lupus clinical trials and referrals, enrollment, and retention in lupus clinical trials.
The primary purpose of this proposed exploratory study is to investigate the factors that influence the retention decisions of Black teachers in a large urban public school district in a post-COVID pandemic setting.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a Food is Medicine intervention when started during the first trimester of pregnancy. The eating pattern we are testing in this study is a Mediterranean-style dietary pattern adapted for the southern United States - thus, we call the program "Med-South." All who take part will receive Med-South dietary counseling. In addition, to help participants follow a Med-style dietary pattern, one group of study participants will receive extra virgin olive oil and nuts. The other group will receive extra virgin olive oil, nuts, and frozen meals (medically tailored meals) that align with the Med-South dietary pattern. Participants will be assigned at random (like flipping a coin) to one of these groups.
To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) process focused on physicians' variability during the pre-treatment peer review processes and assess the impact of the process in the RT work system on patient safety.
