This study focuses on how communities near the coast deal with frequent but shallow flooding. We focus on small towns in Carteret County, NC, where families have lived for a long time. We want to talk to residents here to understand how they see their quality of life changing as flooding increases. We also want to see if their tolerance for this type of flooding changes depending on how bad it is and which areas are affected. By talking to residents and modeling flooding, we hope to characterize how livable this place may be in the future considering these floods.

The purpose of this study is to compare two different ways of supporting children and families as they return home from a hospital stay. During the weeks following a hospital stay, children and families face many challenges. The results of this study will help us learn how best to support their needs during this vulnerable time.

Recent updates to the clinical practice guidelines of the American Heart Association (AHA) and US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), now recommend against the use of aspirin for primary prevention in older adults due to the associated bleeding risks​. Moreover, it is estimated that 25-40% of older adults continue routine aspirin consumption without evidence-based clinical indications​. Using the emergency department as a platform to evaluate patients' perspectives on discontinuing aspirin in scenarios where the risks or potential drawbacks surpass the benefits. This assessment takes into account the patient's care objectives, existing functionality, life expectancy, values, and preferences.

Scuba divers are at risk of developing decompression sickness (DCS). This study aims to understand how different gases breathed during the dive (notably helium vs nitrogen) can influence that risk by quantifying bubbles that form during and after diving and other inflammatory markers, both shown to relate to DCS risk.

Aim 1: To co-develop the "Patient-Centered Pharmacy Pathway for Oral Chemotherapy" (P3OC) components through stakeholder engagement by conducting a modified Delphi panel with pharmacists, physicians, and other oncology healthcare providers (36,37) to determine key symptoms to assess during oral chemotherapy. Aim 2: To conduct usability testing(38,39) of the P3OC EHR Smart Form, verbal PROM, and report/dashboard with pharmacists.
