I am looking at how climate and conflict both affect food security in Ethiopia - and to what extent. Climate change is an overarching factor that's causing food insecurity (directly and indirectly) through lower agricultural yields and less access to food, while conflict is a very direct and immediate factor that interferes with people ability to access food.

The purpose of this study will be to collect and evaluate patient responses to see if counseling information on certain hormonal medications is beneficial to patients, and whether receiving additional counseling builds transgender patient confidence and comfortability in accessing medical and pharmacy services.

The goal of this study is to help CAPRICORN understand the needs of primary care clinics in North Carolina that provide free or low-cost healthcare. We will focus on how these clinics can offer cancer screening events to people in the community. To do this, we will create and use a survey to learn more about the needs of 3-4 clinics in North Carolina. Our findings will be shared in a report that includes suggestions for how CAPRICORN can grow over the next five years.

The purpose of this study is to understand why some Veterans return FIT colorectal cancer screening kits and some do not.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility implementing Integrative Medical Group Visits (IMGVs) for patients with chronic pain in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). IMGVs are an innovative way of delivering care for patients with chronic pain, combining medical care, group support, health education, and experiential activities such as mindfulness, chair yoga, and self-massage. IMGVs have been studied before and found to be helpful for patients. In this study, we are evaluating how to implement IMGVs into community health centers that receive funding from the federal government to provide care to patients regardless of ability to pay---called FQHCs. We will look at outcomes related to effectiveness of IMGVs to address chronic pain, as well as cost to the patients and clinic, acceptability and feasibility of delivering the program, and sustainability of keeping IMGVs going at the clinic over time.

The purpose of this study is to understand how employees' interactions with others at work influence their motivation and behaviors.

This study aims to understand how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used in U.S. Army Public Affairs to help communicate more effectively. We want to learn how AI may impact trust between the Army and the public, as well as identify any challenges or rules needed for its safe use. By gathering opinions from Army Public Affairs leaders, we hope to create guidelines for using AI responsibly in military communications.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of simulation in the development of technical surgical skills.

We are recruiting 216 people at events in the community to look at different types of educational materials about genomics. We will survey them before and after to see if and how their knowledge and willingness to participate in research was affected. Then, we will ask 30 of those people to participate in a 45-60 minute interview over Zoom. This will help us to gather more information about their preferences and attitudes toward genomic research. We will be recruiting from a diverse group of people and offering materials in both English and Spanish. The purpose of this is to improve health literacy and willingness of participate in genomic research in order to improve health equity.

Health literacy is the ability for individuals to read and understand health information in order to make health decisions. The American Medical Association recommends that patient information guides are written at or below a sixth grade reading level. However previous studies have found that most patient educational material in urogynecology are written above the recommended sixth grade reading level. The purpose of this research study is to see if patients are better able to better understand informational handouts written at above a sixth-grade reading level compared to informational handouts written below a sixth-grade reading level.
