This study will look at the current health statuses of members of the Lumbee tribe. Health statuses of other tribes who have federal recognition will be put together in order to compare them to those of the Lumbee. This study hopes to see what exactly federal recognition could potentially do for the Lumbee tribe when it comes to health if they were to receive it.
This study will gather information about patients who are taking new medicines for Alzheimer's disease. We'll keep an eye on how these patients are doing in the long run, tracking things like how they're responding to treatment, what their overall health outcomes are like, and how safe these new treatments really are when used in the real world. The goal of this study is to get a better understanding of how these therapies actually work for a diverse group of people, not just the people who usually participate in clinical trials.
The PERFORMANCE III study is a study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Neuroguard IEP Direct System for the treatment of carotid artery narrowing.
The purpose of the study is to collect and analyze survey responses from patients who visit the outpatient diuresis clinic at UNC Eastowne in order to gain insights into their perspectives and experiences. Fiscal incentives to reduce the burden of hospital admissions have fueled interest in ambulatory strategies that can better manage heart failure, including clinic-based administration of IV diuretics. Given the clinic was started in 2017, quality improvement initiatives are necessary to continue to improve its services. This study will focus on the patient and collect qualitative data.

Because Black youth are dying by suicide at an alarming rate, this study addresses the interplay of how two dimensions of inequality impact suicide: 1. school-based mental health services and referrals; and 2. aggressive school disciplinary practices. Mental health symptoms in Black individuals may be "masked" as aggression and misinterpreted by school professionals as behavioral problems, reinforcing harsh disciplinary practices disproportionate in Black youth. Improved understanding of how these two dimensions influence suicide will inform upstream approaches to suicide prevention delivered in school settings and contribute to a sizeable gap in the literature in support of preventing Black youth from dying of suicide. We will collect a disparate set of data sets to describe the prevalence of these issues and conduct analyses that explore the relationship between disciplinary actions and mental health access with suicide. We will also interview school-based professional and administrators to understand their roles and understandings
