The study purpose is to evaluate laboratory professionals' perception of the effectiveness of education methods in preparing laboratory professionals to understand, implement, and educate other members of the patient care team on the technology and product/processing changes involved in implementing Pathogen Reduction Technology (PRT) treated products, specifically PRT treated platelets. This is important because PRTs role is continuing to grow and develop in transfusion medicine. As with any change or development within the field, education must be provided and prioritized as policies and procedures are updated to reflect those developments and the evolution of the best practices. Given the professional responsibility to properly handle the product and serve as a resource for patient care teams, it is imperative to determine if laboratory professionals are being effectively prepared to handle implementation of new products and processes as they develop.

I am conducting this research to investigate the confidence level of school nurses in North Carolina surrounding the identification of concerns of child maltreatment in students. Many children develop conditions due to their maltreatment; the school nurse is ideally placed for early identification of these situations and get help for the child. The goal of investigating this topic is to increase awareness of the confidence of school nurses in this topic.

The primary purpose of this research is to inform a future evidence-based alcohol reduction intervention to integrate HIV status neutral counseling for people with HIV or at high risk for HIV who report heavy drinking and are receiving STI care in Malawi.

To address the core problem of insufficient safe blood supply for the country, targeting the lowest risk and most receptive population for consistent donation can be successful. The 2018 population census shows that the total population aged 15 to 24 is 3,687,521 out of which 1,905,165 (52%) are males and 17% (645,000/ 3,687,521) live in urban areas clearly showing the large blood donation potential for the country (National Statistical Office, 2019). The two studies conducted in the initial Year 1 and Year 2 of the Malawi BLOODSAFE Project (2020-2022) have provided rich information on temporal and geographical patterns of blood donation and transfusion transmissible infection as well as barriers and facilitators to blood donation. Using this information, we now propose to develop a comprehensive integrated school-based and post-school donation clubs to serve as a foundation that will encourage lifelong donation and improve the supply of safe blood in Malawi.

Analyze biospecimens and conduct analyses on the association between endocrine disrupting chemicals and child neurodevelopment and growth.

This study is comparing two ways of treating Atrial Fibrillation (AF). Patients will either take continuous anticoagulation medications, or they will wear AF-sensing smartwatches and take anticoagulation medications for 30 days after an AF event.

The purpose of the study is to determine if information about how public housing programs can increase recipient insecurity, and how information about this insecurity can contribute to a reduction in support for social policy among the general population.
