The World Health Organization recommends one ultrasound before 24 weeks of pregnancy. Recent developments with technology-assisted ultrasound increase ultrasound access to patients in low- and middle-income countries. This study is the evaluation of the implementation of technology-assisted ultrasounds in 7 antenatal clinics in Zambia. The goal is to understanding the acceptability and feasibility of the ultrasounds, and ultimately to publish information helpful to policymakers and clinic directors involved in implementing similar programs in low-resource settings.
Understand pediatric nurses' personal views of workplace violence as well as their views of their experiences with caring for aggressive adolescent patients. This research is being conducted because of the lack of knowledge on this topic.
This project will focus on industry thought leaders on social media and their potential to create cultural change, especially with respect to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Thought leaders in the diversity and inclusion space on LinkedIn use their platform to address social issues related to DEI, but there is not a lot of research that has examined this aspect. To fill this gap, this study will propose interviewing thought leaders who regularly post about diversity topics on LinkedIn to gather information on their posts.
By collecting large amounts of data, this study aims to describe the pregnancy rate, pregnancy outcomes, health and disease burden of women of reproductive age and their children under 2 years prior to, during, and following pregnancy and to investigate the structural, socio-demographic, and clinical covariates that contribute to adverse outcomes
I am interested in understanding how George Floyd Square came to be. I am also interested in learning how the South Minneapolis community organizes to resist police violence. This project contributes to decolonization scholarship by theorizing, through the example of South Minneapolis, forced migration and containment as colonial policies that are enforced through policing and that produce literal and social death for racialized Others.
The purpose of this research study is to better understand the characteristics and workforce of school-based behavioral health (SBBH) programs across the U.S. in order to identify the resources needed to expand these services.
We are assess the utility of using a required doctor badge insert along with normal physician name tags to help patients and staff more accurately identify physicians. In particular, residents, or trainees, especially those in surgery are often misperceived as nurses, students, or other non-physicians. Prior research has shown that this varies based on both race and gender.
Belatacept is a drug that helps kidney transplant recipients by preventing the body from rejecting the new organ. We want to compare how well belatacept works compared to the commonly used drug tacrolimus. To do this, we plan to study people who got kidney transplants in the United States from 2011 to 2020. By using two large databases, the United States Renal Data System, and the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, we aim to understand how belatacept is used in real life. We are also interested in comparing how effective and safe is belatacept compared with tacrolimus after one year of administration. We will look at outcomes like how long the transplanted kidney will work, how long will the kidney transplant recipients live, how well your kidneys will work, the risk of organ rejection, and certain side effects to happen after transplant like blood cancer.
This project explores the stories and narratives about how gardening and communing in a shared space (ex: community gardens) can enrich communal care, resistance, and joy.
This study recruits participants who receive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a treatment for their depression. We investigate how brain rhythms change during the treatment to better understand how TMS affects the brain.
