In this study, we want to hear from patients with metastatic breast cancer about how their oncologists speak with them about their prognosis. We know these conversations can be challenging, and we want to hear from patients and caregivers about what is helpful or not helpful in those conversations. We also want to hear from patients about a breast cancer-specific tool.

Want to help improve the treatment of people with chronic blood cancers? We are looking for healthy volunteers to take part in a simple blood-draw study. If you are generally healthy and are not taking blood thinners, you may be able to help improve treatment for patients with chronic blood cancers by donating a tablespoon of blood. This study aims to understand why individuals with chronic blood cancers have a high risk of blood clots as compared to healthy individuals, by comparing (1) the ability of blood to clot in a test tube and (2) changes in white blood cells that make them more likely to stick to blood vessels between healthy individuals and individuals with chronic blood cancers.

We now know there is a link between sedentary behavior (e.g., sitting) and heart disease. However, we do not yet fully understand if sedentary behavior performed in different settings and situations (e.g., sitting alone watching television vs sitting with friends at a bar) differentially impacts heart disease risk. This is what this study aims to find out.

In this study we want to learn more about the factors that affect quality of life for breast cancer survivors. We also want to learn about the common experiences patients face. What we learn in this study could be used in future research to address overlooked challenges for patients in life after treatment.

The purpose of this research study is to identify changes in the language during the COVID-19 pandemic in population with or without a history of trauma.

Many young athletes who tear their ACL have trouble getting back to sport or suffer a second ACL injury once they do. We aim to improve athletes' ability to get back to sport safely. We want to make the activities athletes perform in rehabilitation more closely match the demands of what they do once they return to their sport. We also aim to develop low-cost ways to measure how the knee is moving during those activities. *This study is a collaboration with the UNC Sports Medicine Institute*

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reliability of multiple body composition techniques in a multi-ethnic population.

Are you pregnant? Are you high risk? We know it is stressful to be pregnant when you are high-risk. We are trying to learn more about how different aspects of your life - including activity, diet, environment, stress level, and social support affect pregnancy outcomes. Compensation provided.

In this study, we want to learn more about how you feel about changes in Durham and how you feel about your own neighborhood.

The purpose of this study is to increase the involvement of black breast cancer patients in clinical research trials and connect these patients with resources.
