Flooding is a frequent, expensive, and life-threatening hazard across the United States. Some towns have limited flooding damage by limiting the amount of new development in floodplains (areas known to be at risk of repeat flooding). This project explores why some towns have been able to limit development while others have aggressively built in the floodplains. We interview local stakeholders and residents in eight towns (four that have limited floodplain development and four that have not). We will ask about regulations that limit development and control flood risk in their towns. We will ask about why these regulations were or were not adopted, the process of adoption, how they are enforced, and any challenges faced. We will ask about their experiences with the regulations and their perceptions of flood risks. Our goal is to identify lessons learned that can help other towns improve their floodplain management.

This project aims to investigate the ways in which an innovative multigenerational STEM environment promotes STEM retention and persistence among undergraduate women of color.

The goal of this study is to gather information from different stakeholders (people living with HIV and those directing clinical trials) about how to provide support for those recruited to HIV clinical trials. This information will be used to develop a "decision aid" to be used before informed consent, to help people make a decision most consistent with their values.

We are testing private well water and surface waters in the Anderson Community in Caswell and Alamance Counties. We are also conducting a brief survey with residents to understand their drinking water concerns and use of nearby lakes and streams.

This study will explore the ways that anti-racism education via an analysis of structural racism and white race caucusing influence what white people do to navigate structural racism as it presents in the everyday.

The purpose of this study is to further adapt an evidence-based, social support intervention, enCompass for rural cancer caregivers by identifying the barriers and facilitators from the perspectives of clinical staff and healthcare administrators. Results of this study will inform the development of a clinical trial.

The purpose of this study is to understand how people think about different aspects of time (past, present, and future) and its association with their well-being in romantic relationships.

The purpose of the study is two-fold. The first is to conduct an adaptation of a microeconomic strengthening and stigma reduction intervention for young people with HIV in Zambia. The second is to pilot test the adapted intervention and assess its feasibility, acceptability, implementation costs, and preliminary effects.

Cancer affects the entire family - including children. FACT, which stands for "Families Addressing Cancer Together," is a new online tool that generates custom guidance for discussing cancer with children, tailored for your unique family and goals.

The objective of PEGS is to provide a resource for environmental health translational research by examining environment and gene-environment interactions in health and disease. PEGS will incorporate exposure and health information with or without genomic information to uncover novel environmental risk factors for the most prevalent health conditions and diseases.
