The purpose of this study is to gauge interest in a peer support program to help individuals with chronic kidney disease who are pregnant or are contemplating pregnancy navigate decision-making and care management. This survey will help us understand patients' desires for such a program and ways it can be implemented to best serve their needs and preferences.
We Yone Foundation and Georgina (Gina) Adatsi are carrying out this qualitative study on measuring the level of reproductive health knowledge that teenage boys and girls already have here in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Your child's participation in this study will help improve our understanding of gaps within reproductive health, how reproductive health is understood, understanding female/male anatomy, and the importance of family planning methods. It will also inform us on how gaps in knowledge lead to higher rates of teenage pregnancy. Researchers will use the results of this study to inform policy makers and actors working in the area of family planning and to reduce teenage pregnancy. We want to be sure that you understand the purpose of this research and your responsibilities in it before you decide if you want your child to participate in the study. Please ask us to explain any words or information you do not
The proposed project seeks to further our understanding of how teachers improve over time-and specifically how white teachers can become more effective teachers to students of color-by bridging three previously distinct literatures in education research: the returns to teaching experience, teacher peer effects, and the impacts of racial representation in the teaching force.
To enhance community organizations knowledge of the research world
This study explores how psychotherapists address race in session and treat racism-based trauma in clinical practice.
This study will use group model building methodologies to understand the dynamics preventing punitive policy change (de-implementation) for pregnant persons who use substances. We will be recruiting those involved in this process (e.g., policymakers, agency staff members, clinicians, and social workers, etc.).
The purpose of this focus group is to get feedback on an educational video about recovery from musculoskeletal pain. The information we learn may help us improve the video so that we can keep people from developing long-term opioid use.
This project aims to integrate generative AI (GenAI) into MEJO379, a high-enrollment course, to meet the demand for students to critically engage with AI in strategic communication. Despite industry emphasis on AI skills, students currently lack knowledge and practice in utilizing AI for primary research. This project seeks to develop GenAI-driven learning experiences to bridge this gap. Leveraging the team's expertise, we will create adaptable learning materials, cutting-edge examples/cases, and engaging assignments emphasizing GenAI best practices and critical reflection.
Neonatal mortality remains a significant challenge in Malawi, despite the country's success in reducing overall childhood mortality. We have identified significant gaps in infection control and routine neonatal care in tertiary facilities. As more childbirths are occurring in health facilities, it is crucial to identify areas for improvement and address these in each facility to enhance the quality of neonatal care. This study proposes a team-based approach to identifying areas for improvement with a high potential to significantly impact neonatal survival in surgical neonates. By including a wide range of individuals - from those working in the unit to providers interacting with the team to hospital leadership - we can design robust interventions with the potential for successful implementation and propagation. Our study proposes a reproducible model that other neonatal services or facilities may replicate. An additional benefit of a qualitative research-informed approach is empowering all team members to improve
