The purpose of this study is to evaluate how people make decisions.

The purpose of this research is to identify genetic and other patient factors that influence the ability of the medication clopidogrel (also known as Plavix) to block activation of platelets. This knowledge will help doctors identify patients who may not have a good response to clopidogrel.

To increase access to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) across North Carolina. HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) medication has been proven to be effective at preventing HIV infection when taken as prescribed. Even though PrEP has been shown to be effective, not all health care settings currently offer PrEP to their patients. Part of the reason for this is that there are not enough health care providers who prescribe PrEP, and, some people have difficulty getting the cost of PrEP and PrEP care covered. The purpose of this study is to test new ways to increase access to PrEP for people in North Carolina. The intervention will test whether providing access to resources related to PrEP care at health department sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinics will increase the number of people who start using PrEP.

Compare the use of ACL reconstruction and physical therapy in Black and White people and people with different socioeconomic status after ACL injury. Black people and people with lower socioeconomic status are at higher risk of long-term disability related to arthritis that is common after ACL injury. The above treatments may reduce long-term disability, but use of these treatments may be different across racial and socioeconomic groups. The project will also look at factors related to treatment use in Black people with ACL injury. Identifying these factors will help us figure out how to improve treatment use in Black people, who are often underrepresented in clinical research. *This study is a collaboration with the UNC Sports Medicine Institute*
