This study compares two different surgical tubes and post-op ointments as treatment for one type of glaucoma, an ocular disorder in which the pressure inside the eye is too high.

This research will look at the way colleges and universities use public podcasts to engage with the public. The podcasts in review are specifically ones that are produced by a central communications or marketing office. The research will help inform general standards for college- and university-produced podcasts, to better understand their purpose and success on the school's larger communications strategies.

The purpose of the study is to capture the time course of patient-reported improvement with VDZ or UST from baseline to Week 52 (end of study).

Specific Aim 1: Identify standardized and validated quality of life values among patients undergoing surgical management of BPH Specific Aim 2: Identify the prevalence and severity of financial toxicity among patients undergoing surgical management of BPH Specific Aim 3: Characterize subjective patient priorities regarding procedure characteristics and the impact of these on patient clinical decision making.

We are trying to understand how agricultural workers in Southeastern North Carolina feel about managing their diabetes. We hope to help participants feel more comfortable in understanding their diabetes and how to better control their blood sugar.

The goal of this project is to understand how community pharmacies work collaboratively with patients to reduce the harm that opioid misuse can cause. Investigators are also seeking to understand what challenges community pharmacies face when trying to decrease harm from opioids by supporting safe use of opioid medications and access to medications for opioid use disorder treatment and opioid overdose reversal. Information gathering efforts are being focused on community pharmacies that serve racial and ethnic minority communities in rural areas. Triangle CERSI scientists are working collaboratively with the FDA to survey and interview pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, patients, and other community members to collect and analyze data needed to better understand community pharmacy challenges in these areas. Ultimately, investigators seek to explore effective ways to reduce the harm from opioid misuse among underserved communities.

We are classifying narratives by types of narrators (i.e., reliable vs. unreliable).

This project will focus on identifying and addressing socio-economic barriers to healthcare (e.g., education, transportation/access) for patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Lupus Nephritis (LN). This pilot program aims to expand supportive services and education to mitigate healthcare barriers, by: 1) enhancing access to tangible transportation support systems to improve healthcare access; and 2) utilizing Pharmacist Counseling and Patient Educational Materials to increase awareness and knowledge of the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, medication adherence, and routine screenings (e.g., urine protein creatinine ratio and urinalysis) for improved health outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to understand how people gather information from reference letters, which are short essays written by a former colleague or supervisor to support someone's application for a new role.

The TIMELY impact evaluation is a tracking study to evaluate the extent to which patients with lupus from North Carolina who are under the care of TIMELY-trained providers (rheumatologists, primary care providers, nephrologists, dermatologists) or have connected with local Community Health Workers (CHWs) have increased intentions and willingness to participate in lupus clinical trials and referrals, enrollment, and retention in lupus clinical trials.
