The purpose of this research study is to see if home-based blood pressure monitoring when combined with team-based care led by your doctor's office can improve blood pressure levels in comparison to usual patterns of care. The long-term hope is to reduce risks for bad outcomes such as stroke by improving blood pressure control.
The first 2,000 days are critical periods of child development, laying the foundation for young children's cognitive, language, and socio-emotional development. This age span is also a critical period for racial identity. Positive racial identity has been linked to Black children's achievement and socio-emotional.iii Research has found that when Black children receive messages about having positive self-worth and self-identity, balanced with messages about racial inequalities, this results in joyful learning and socio-emotional outcomes,iiiiv academic curiosity, and persistence.v Thus, a focus on positive racial identity may be one particular strategy to ensure the healthy development and learning for Black children to combat against racism and biases they are likely to experience. As evidenced by the planning grant data, Black children experience different forms of racism and inequities in their household and learning environments. We hypothesize that attending to culturally responsive teaching, and more precisely, African-centered teaching practices, is a more effective

1. To create a prospective cohort of pediatric IBD patients with active disease initiating or changing medical, dietary, or surgical therapy. 2. Identify unique subgroups of pediatric patients with high likelihood of response/non-response to specific therapies through integrated analysis of demographic, clinical, and multi-omic molecular data. 3. Define surgical, clinical, and endoscopic outcomes of ileal surgery for pediatric Crohn's disease and clinical and molecular predictors of post-operative endoscopic disease recurrence.
This study is comparing two approaches for monitoring and addressing symptoms among adult patients with kidney failure who are treated with hemodialysis. For the first approach patients use an electronic system twice a month to report their symptoms. The system sends alerts to their medical team at the dialysis clinic about the reported symptoms and gives suggestions about how to manage them. The system also provides reports that show patients and their medical team the reported symptoms over time. For the second approach patients complete a quality of life questionnaire that includes questions about symptoms once a year. The questionnaire does not have follow-up support like alerts, symptom management guidance, or reports. In addition, researchers will talk to patients, dialysis clinic personnel, and medical providers about their experiences using the electronic symptom monitoring system to learn about how to best use patient-reported outcome measures in dialysis care.
