LCC Warnings - Representative Survey

In Aim 1, we will use existing research and expert review to develop new text and pictorial LCC warnings and test the new warnings using online experiments to identify warnings that adult LCC users perceive as most effective. The proposed study will fill critical gaps regarding which characteristics make LCC warning labels most effective and provide needed evidence on how LCC warnings influence LCC behavioral intentions. Our overarching goal is to develop effective LCC warnings that reduce cancer and other health risks.

Parent Infant Interaction Intervention

he purpose of Parents and Infants Inter(X)action Intervention (PIXI) is to study ways of supporting the early development of infants diagnosed with rare neurogenetic disorders in their first year of life. PIXI is funded by the John Merck Fund and is led by RTI International (RTI) in collaboration with researchers at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. The team includes neurodevelopmental psychologists, early interventionists, and experts in neurogenetic conditions (e.g., fragile X syndrome, Angelman syndrome), autism spectrum disorder, and early childhood development. The goal of PIXI is to provide developmental and behavioral support for infants with rare neurogenetic disorders through a two-phase targeted parent-mediated intervention program.

Family Medicine Point-of-Care Ultrasound Needs Assessment

This research study aims to identify the national need of family medicine residency educators regarding point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education and resources. The study will collect data on the state of POCUS education and resources at medical universities across the country through an optional survey sent to faculty who are members of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine. The questions in the survey focus on the respondee's level of POCUS training, use of POCUS in their day-to-day practice, and desire for different forms of POCUS content to integrate into their residency programs. The data will be collected and evaluated using Qualtrics.

Genetic counseling using videos in patients with ovarian and uterine cancer

Some female cancers may be genetic, meaning they are passed down from a parent through DNA (our genetic code or roadmap). In people with certain types of ovarian and uterine cancer, it may be helpful to test their DNA for any errors that can cause cancer. There are lots of important pieces of information to share when someone is diagnosed with cancer, and we are exploring a new way to share information. Patients with certain types of ovarian or uterine cancers will watch a short video that explains what genetic testing is and why it is so important. They will fill out a survey about what they think about the video and if the information is helpful.

"Does the way that information is presented to people affect how they learn about genetics and if they want to be in research studies?"

We are recruiting 216 people at events in the community to look at different types of educational materials about genomics. We will survey them before and after to see if and how their knowledge and willingness to participate in research was affected. Then, we will ask 30 of those people to participate in a 45-60 minute interview over Zoom. This will help us to gather more information about their preferences and attitudes toward genomic research. We will be recruiting from a diverse group of people and offering materials in both English and Spanish. The purpose of this is to improve health literacy and willingness of participate in genomic research in order to improve health equity.
