Through qualitative and quantitative data analysis and community partner interviews, this project will assess the activities and outcomes of the North Carolina Vision Zero initiative, highlighting the impact of its support model. The study's results will identify strategies for adapting and expanding the NCVZ support model and inform Vision Zero initiatives in other communities throughout the United States, particularly within a Southeastern U.S. context. This research contributes to enhancing the understanding of how to adapt public health frameworks to a Vision Zero context.

This research study is a virtual intervention designed to decrease diabetes distress in adults 30 years and older with type 1 diabetes. We will enroll participants into a virtual intervention with two arms, both of which are evidence-based interventions to decrease distress. Diabetes distress is important to address because it affects well-being and diabetes management. It is very common, with about 40% of people with diabetes having some level of distress. It responds well to treatment and we are studying the best way to decrease distress in our study population.

This study will gather information about patients who are taking new medicines for Alzheimer's disease. We'll keep an eye on how these patients are doing in the long run, tracking things like how they're responding to treatment, what their overall health outcomes are like, and how safe these new treatments really are when used in the real world. The goal of this study is to get a better understanding of how these therapies actually work for a diverse group of people, not just the people who usually participate in clinical trials.

It is important that patients with Lynch Syndrome tell their family members about their condition so their family members understand their risks and can be tested for Lynch Syndrome too. We are testing our workbook with a small group of patients with Lynch Syndrome to understand if the workbook is helpful in managing their condition and talking to family members.
