With partisan and racial division growing, there has been a call for corporations to take a stance on social issues, such as racial justice, and many corporations have answered, leading to an influx of organizations publicizing their stance as a form of CSA (Coman et al., 2022). Corporate social advocacy (CSA), a concept that combines elements of corporate social responsibility, CEO activism, and corporate political advocacy, refers to an organization taking a public stance on social issues (Lim & Young, 2021). The prevalence of this phenomenon has led scholars to examine the use and impact of CSA initiatives (Li et al., 2020; Parcha et al., 2020; Lim & Young, 2021). This dissertation hopes to contribute to this research area by operationalizing CSA in digital spaces, while expanding our understanding of how corporations are communicating their CSA stances on Instagram, and how the public perceives the authenticity of those messages.

we are conducting a study that examines the impact of children's literature on reader's perceptions of identity and diversity. We hope to discover what elements of picture books are influential in prompting readers to reconsider or consider perceptions of identity and diversity.

The purpose of this study is to understand the perspectives and experiences of teachers working in U.S. schools in Latin America. We hope to better understand how teachers came to their positions, explore the impact of lived experiences in teaching, and understand how biliteracy, bilingualism, cross-cultural appreciation, and critical consciousness is operationalized in schools.

Researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill are interested in learning from community members about how flooding from hurricanes affects their ability to access healthcare needs and services during and after a flooding event in Eastern North Carolina. The goal of this research is to gather with community members to make a list of concerns, write questions we can research, and select the questions that are most important to the community. Ultimately, we would like affected community members to have a voice in the type of research that is funded related to flooding and community health so that local and state decision-makers can respond to what matters most to the community.

Determine how much of a decrease in sedentary behaviors are necessary for clinically meaningful improvements in health

Purpose: To develop, assess, and refine a brief electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) tool that can be completed weekly by patients with newly diagnosed breast and colorectal cancer to self-report progress from diagnosis to treatment initiation.

This mixed- methods study examines the impact and cost-effectiveness of a high dosage tutoring model for 4th grade math in a district with a proven track record of success in implementing such a model. High dosage tutoring is defined as frequent (three or more sessions per week), small group (three or four students per tutor) tutoring conducted during the school day by an adult who has been trained to deliver instruction that helps students meet grade level standards. This study will allow local, state, and national practitioners and policymakers to weigh the costs and benefits of two different approaches to delivering tutoring: a whole grade model and a targeted tutoring model.

The purpose of this study is to create an educational video on colorectal cancer, screening and prevention, and clinical trials in Spanish in order to demonstrate a correlation between increased education and increased willingness to participate in clinical trials in the Latinx populations through local churches.

The purpose of this study is to adapt GO-NAPSACC for children with Down syndrome. GO-NAPSACC helps families improve nutrition and physical activity for their preschoolers. We aim to adapt the program for families with children with Down syndrome.

The expected outcome of this proposal is a novel care pathway delivered by pharmacists to improve side effects during oral chemotherapy for patients, a known barrier to adherence, and ultimately to prevent progression and early mortality. Our long-term goal for P3OC is to develop and test new dashboard features to optimize pharmacy care, meet future needs for value-based payment models, and improve patient outcomes.
