The purpose of this research study is to understand the digital tools used by people in recovery for alcohol use disorders. In this study, we will do interviews with participants. These interviews will help us to get an understanding of the efforts to maintain their sobriety and any digital tools that they currently use.

Do you currently experience anxiety? Are you interested in trying a medication-free approach to treatment? If you are between 18 and 21 years old, you may be able to take part in a study to learn more about non-invasive brain stimulation, which has previously been shown to be effective in reducing anxiety symptoms in people 22 years and older.
In this study, we want to learn more about the possible relationship between the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's undergraduate history students' political parties and their library usage.

Do you ever notice that you feel more energized or alert when meeting new people and forming first impressions? Other times, a first meeting will rub you the wrong way and you may feel less attentive. If you've experienced one or both of these, you may wonder: What makes a good first impression? How do you know you want to become friends with someone? What information do we pay attention to when interacting with someone for the first time? Good questions! Neuroscience and psychology researchers wonder about the same things. Here at the Social Neuroscience and Health lab, we study how the brain and the immune system work together to influence our behaviors and experiences. The Friendship Pathways Study is a research project aiming to answer questions about how the brain and immune system communicate when meeting new people and forming friendships.
