Ready Now: Supporting Youth and Families During Crisis

This project seeks to broaden and improve the efficacy of library staff to support communities in crisis and to build a Field Guide that library staff can use to achieve this goal. The Field Guide's purpose is to prepare public library staff to support historically marginalized youth and families during current and future crises (such as pandemics, hurricanes, water supply, energy, wildfire, etc.) and the consequences of such crises (gaps in fundamental literacy, limited access to information, disparities in learning opportunities, etc.)

Language Access in Primary Care Clinics

This project proposes to conduct a needs assessment of Arabic-speaking patients who visit the UNC Family Medicine Center at Chapel Hill to refine existing peri-visit communication workflows. The needs assessment will be done in collaboration with the Refugee Community Partnership (RCP) and will involve focus groups of their members to better assess clinic peri-visit communication needs. The goal is to deliver Arabic language-expansion interventions to clinic leadership that address these needs and implement at least one concrete communication workflow change.

Evaluation of Technology-Assisted Ultrasounds in Pregnancy

The World Health Organization recommends one ultrasound before 24 weeks of pregnancy. Recent developments with technology-assisted ultrasound increase ultrasound access to patients in low- and middle-income countries. This study is the evaluation of the implementation of technology-assisted ultrasounds in 7 antenatal clinics in Zambia. The goal is to understanding the acceptability and feasibility of the ultrasounds, and ultimately to publish information helpful to policymakers and clinic directors involved in implementing similar programs in low-resource settings.

Role of Leaders on LinkedIn

This project will focus on industry thought leaders on social media and their potential to create cultural change, especially with respect to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Thought leaders in the diversity and inclusion space on LinkedIn use their platform to address social issues related to DEI, but there is not a lot of research that has examined this aspect. To fill this gap, this study will propose interviewing thought leaders who regularly post about diversity topics on LinkedIn to gather information on their posts.

Exploration and Clarification of the Patient Sitter Role

i. Patient sitters provide 1:1 supervision to patients at risk of injury to themselves or others. As there are no existing national policies that define sitter responsibility, this responsibility is left to hospitals. Current policies largely utilize sitters to provide patient safety; however, sitters often find themselves in situations which require far more than safety skills, leading to ambiguity in the role. Through my project, I will explore the experiences of current sitters and ultimately use this data to create a more comprehensive training module that reduces the ambiguity of the sitter role.

MG Women's Health Survey

We are studying how myasthenia gravis (MG) affects women during important life stages like menstruation, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. MG is a rare, chronic condition causing muscle weakness. Many women with MG notice changes in symptoms during their periods or pregnancies. We want to understand these changes better to help doctors treat female MG patients more effectively. By collecting information through surveys, we aim to learn about symptom fluctuations related to hormonal changes and identify patterns. This study will provide valuable insights into the unique experiences of women with MG during these life stages, guiding future medical practices and improving care for individuals managing this condition.

Multiple Myeloma study

You are being asked to take part in this study because you previously agreed to receive a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug, idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel), for the treatment of your disease as part of routine care and not a clinical research study. You had the blood collection (leukapheresis) (pronounced loo-ka-fer-ee-sis) procedure, your T cells (a subset of your white blood cells that are part of your immune system and attack things like infections and cancer cells) were collected and genetically modified in a laboratory in order to manufacture the ide-cel T cells for your disease treatment. The ide-cel T cells that were produced do not meet all of the prespecified release criteria to be used as a routine prescription drug as required by the governing health authority (such as the FDA) where you are being treated. For example, the modified T cells may have a lower cell
