This is an exploratory study in cancer biomarker research, hoping to identify cell-signaling using DNA, in patients with SCLC.
Evaluation of the Teaching Health Center Planning and Development program and Technical Assistance Center services.
This study is being done to answer the following question: Do two different anti-cancer drugs, paclitaxel (PTX) and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) have similar effects on treating KS in PLWH in sub-Saharan Africa? We are doing this study because we want to find out if one of these approaches, PTX or PLD, is better than the other for KS. Both drugs may be given as part of the usual approach for your KS. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for KS.
This study investigates whether and how local economic power explains the unequal state development in Chile. On the one hand, I intend to assess how close ties between businesspeople and mayors obstruct the state's efforts to improve social services and goods for the population. On the other hand, I aim to study how these close linkages curb the extent that local politicians invest in a better capacity to collect money from taxes.
Women's Police Stations were established in Brazil in 1985 to respond to reports of violence against women. Since then, they have spread throughout Latin America, but they take different forms. I am interested in seeing what may make some Women's Police Stations more effective than others. It is important to know the conditions under which these stations do their jobs, to prevent and respond to violence against women.
More primary care healthcare providers are asking patients questions about their ability to access and pay for things they need, like transportation, food, and housing. The purpose of this research study is to better understand how healthcare providers, patients, and caregivers feel about asking and answering these types of questions.
The purpose of this study is to partner with adolescents in the community to develop and test a social media campaign that provides psychoeducation and teaches therapeutic skills to prevent mental health disorders.
The purpose of this research study is to better understand how to adapt a multi-level leadership coaching implementation strategy called Leadership and Organizational Change for Implementation (LOCI). This will help us understand how to better integrate mental health treatments into medical care. We will interview those involved in health care and district health decisions to understand the context of mental health care in Malawi and how we can adapt LOCI to best serve Malawian health leaders.
We are studying the accuracy and utility of two inexpensive, homemade procedure simulators.
The purpose of this study is to determine if it is possible to identify biomarkers that tell us what type of response a person with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) will have to "antibody-drug conjugates" (ADCs).
