This project seeks to understand the relationship between race, technology, and people's mobility. In the past several years, there has been increased attention to making our technologies more humane and accessible to diverse populations.

To explore the use and utility of SBT in patient care in critical care settings.

The study purpose is to evaluate laboratory professionals' perception of the effectiveness of education methods in preparing laboratory professionals to understand, implement, and educate other members of the patient care team on the technology and product/processing changes involved in implementing Pathogen Reduction Technology (PRT) treated products, specifically PRT treated platelets. This is important because PRTs role is continuing to grow and develop in transfusion medicine. As with any change or development within the field, education must be provided and prioritized as policies and procedures are updated to reflect those developments and the evolution of the best practices. Given the professional responsibility to properly handle the product and serve as a resource for patient care teams, it is imperative to determine if laboratory professionals are being effectively prepared to handle implementation of new products and processes as they develop.

I am conducting this research to investigate the confidence level of school nurses in North Carolina surrounding the identification of concerns of child maltreatment in students. Many children develop conditions due to their maltreatment; the school nurse is ideally placed for early identification of these situations and get help for the child.
