In this study, we want to learn more about mental health stigma and resource utilization. We also want to learn how stigma affects attitdues towards mental health and mental health resources in collegiate athletes.
This project seeks to adapt and test the existing Tough Talks app to address COVID vaccine hesitancy among African American young adults (AA-YA) aged 18-29.
The purpose of this study is to understand how pain and weakness due to knee osteoarthritis affect inflammation and quadriceps muscle function during walking.
This is a registry of childhood, adolescent, and young adult patients with cancer. This registry is for anyone diagnosed with cancer before the age of 40 years to establish a UNC-based resource for the prospective study of the long-term, treatment-related effects, particularly the early aging effects, of cancer and its treatment.
The purpose of this research study is to better understand, from the perspective of Black patients, whether telemedicine visits make prostate cancer decision making easier or harder. The COVID-19 pandemic made it more difficult for patients to see their doctors, but care could continue by having appointments via a computer or phone, which many prostate cancer doctors used. Whether in person or remote, successfully choosing a treatment for prostate cancer often uses shared decision making (SDM), the process where doctors and patients work together to make decisions that match what matters to patients, but it is unknown whether virtual appointments make discussions better or worse. Other studies have shown that Black patients may be less satisfied with their treatment choices than non-Black patients. Therefore, it is important that we understand how to improve the same quality of care for Black patients.
In this study, we want to understand whether we can use non-invasive brain stimulation to treat non-moto symptoms like autonomic nervous system dysfunction and depression in people with Parkinson's disease.
Individuals with a history of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and have had an ACL reconstruction (ACLR) are at a greater risk for developing osteoarthritis. The greater risk for developing osteoarthritis is likely caused by too little force or physical activity applied to the knee during weightbearing tasks such as walking. To reduce this decrease in forces during walking following an ACLR, we must first develop effective treatments that can train a person to walk in a way that reduces their risk of developing osteoarthritis. The purpose of this research study is to determine the feasibility and the initial effects of a 6-week training program designed to improve walking mechanics of individuals with an ACL reconstruction.
The objective of the study is to establish a prospective disease registry for chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO)/chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) in order to investigate the natural history of the disease and the responses of patients to different clinical managements over 5 years.
The purpose of this research study is to better understand the cause and course of clinical high-risk symptoms and to monitor participants for the possible development of mental illnesses such as psychosis. Clinical high-risk symptoms can include feeling low in mood, feeling like something odd is going on, feeling suspicious, or seeing or hearing things that the person knows aren't there. Some people might worry that their thoughts are being heard or might be having more difficulty than usual coping with work, school, or relationships. For some, these early symptoms may become more severe over time. For others, the symptoms may stay the same, decrease, or go away entirely. Improving our knowledge about these symptoms and risk factors and the way that they change over time may help researchers and clinicians predict possible outcomes for individual patients and develop treatment plans that are best suited to individual patients.
