This project tests a short, evidence-based video to help educate patients about effective and safe pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies for acute musculoskeletal pain (MSP). Subjects will be randomly placed into one of two study groups: intervention (educational video) and usual care.

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the success of the video intervention for improving pain recovery and preventing long-term opioid use among adults with musculoskeletal pain.
The 2023 OBXFS Capstone study will explore human perceptions of electrical lighting and artificial light at night (ALAN) on the ocean coast of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. In an increasingly illuminated world, ALAN has many unintended consequences related to energy usage, ecology, human health, safety, and the night sky. Yet, ALAN is still rarely considered a serious problem due to low awareness by the pubic and governing authorities. The study will also assess residents' and visitors' opinions and perceptions regarding light pollution, including knowledge and perceived effects and risks, as well as levels of acceptability of preserving dark areas or reducing lighting, though a structured survey.
