What is an adult?

Traditionally, someone is said to be an adult when they have met certain milestones like moving out of their parents' household, finishing education, beginning full-time work, marrying, and having children. But these milestones are harder to achieve nowadays, and some people might not even aspire to achieve them. Even more, we don't know much about how people in non-Western settings feel about these definitions of adulthood. While marriage is usually still a culturally important milestone, it is becoming delayed and harder to achieve. In my research, I want to find out how young people who just got married/will soon marry understand "adulthood." I focus Jakarta, Indonesia, the second largest city in the world, where tough economic times and a globalized culture meets strong traditions and religious values.

Equity in North Carolina Medicaid

The overarching objective of the UNC CHER Medicaid Equity project is to develop the capacity and vision within NC Medicaid, necessary to lead and carry out the work of equity reform in policy. North Carolina Medicaid is undergoing a transformation of services, launching several health care initiatives, including Standard Plans, Tailored Plans, EBCI Tribal Option, Foster Care Health Plan and the Healthy Opportunities Pilot.

To most effectively incorporate health equity within North Carolina Medicaid and elicit accurate responses, external stakeholder engagement is required to determine how Medicaid policies can be improved.

Moral Distress Nurses

The purpose of this study is to explore how moral distress impacted CCNs who actively engaged in practice during the pandemic and today. A quantitative survey design will be used to gather CCNs perceptions of moral distress using the Moral Distress Scale-Revised (MDS-R., Epstein et al, 2021); additional open-ended questions at the end of the survey will be used to gauge nurses' coping strategies and supports available to deal with moral distress. The open-ended questions will be derived from the literature, integrate the PIs observations, and used to complement findings from the MDS-R. The focus of this study will be solely on critical care nurses that worked through the COVID-19 pandemic due to the high-stress nature of that unit
