Latino/a/x populations are diverse, and one area of diversity is by race. For this study we are interested in learning from the perspectives of Black Latin Americans in the United States (Afro-Latinos) to understand their experiences in the U.S. This includes what stress they face, how that stress affects their health (physical, mental), and experiences with the healthcare system.
In this study, we want to learn about the differences in the personal values of donors based on cultural and ethnic backgrounds. This will help organizations to better understand how to engage people from various cultures and ethnicities on issues that affect their communities.
Are you interested in public health? Researchers at UNC are exploring groundbreaking vaccine development research and we need your help. We are exploring whether an FDA-approved vaccine provides protection against certain bacteria. Compensation provided.
In the study we are looking at how a bout of walking performed prior to prolonged sitting impacts arterial stiffness (non-invasive cardiovascular measure). This is important as increased arterial stiffness from prolonged sitting increases the risk for cardiovascular disease.
We are doing this study to test two programs that can help reduce stress and prevent chronic disease in people who are unemployed/underemployed and looking for work.
We are designing a device that aims to use voice technology to collect dietary recall data. We are recruiting Registered Dietitian's aged 22+ years willing to participate in a 40 minute virtual session. Our hope is to collect the thoughts and perspective of a Registered Dietitian in regard to the challenges older adults may face in food recall.
Do you have schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder? You may be able to take part in a research study if you'd be willing to take an FDA-approved antipsychotic medication and do not have an allergy to clozapine. Compensation will be provided.
You're in your prime, but how well do our lungs age? If you're 25-35 years old, you might be eligible to join a study exploring lung health and the factors that contribute to lung diseases and conditions later in life. Compensation provided.
In this study, we want to learn about the effects of different kinds of force on the knee when walking on a treadmill. We will do this by looking at MRI images of knee cartilage in people with and without a history of ACL reconstruction.
We still have a lot to learn about why people develop glomerular disease and what the best medicines are to treat these diseases. Diabetes is a common, chronic illness and many people with glomerular disease also have diabetes. Currently, there is no information telling us the best ways to treat patients with both diabetes and glomerular disease, or how to counsel them about prognosis and risks for complications. This substudy of the Cure Glomerulopathy Network brings together information and laboratory specimens from patients with diabetes and glomerular disease to speed up and improve health research for their care.
