In the US, systematic economic and social disadvantages negatively impact certain groups of people resulting in higher risk for poorer health outcomes and lower quality of life for these groups. These health inequities contribute to vast, nationwide economic burdens. The intersection of insuring healthcare in the US and ensuring health equity sets the stage for the challenges explored in this research proposal. With the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services launching a Stars Health Equity Index to measure and reward health insurer performance for quality ratings within higher social risk factor populations, this shows the critical role that health insurers can play in advancing health equity and lowering costs across the broader US healthcare system. This research study can help provide critical insights about how health insurers can play a significant and effective role in advancing and ensuring health equity.

The purpose of this study is to meet with elementary school homeroom teachers and middle school social science teachers within the district of Salihli-Turkey and document their knowledge and perceptions regarding the archaeological site of Sardis, archaeology, and archaeologists. The long-term goal of this research is to utilize the data collected to establish a foundation for the development of teacher training programs on archaeological site of Sardis, break teachers' prejudices against the discipline of archaeology, and foster a sense of trust towards international archaeologists actively excavating in this area.

This study is looking at how work and family related responsibilities affect ability to teach for mothers who are also physicians.

To determine the needs of caregivers of older adults (65+ years) in rural versus urban areas, from the perspective of the social worker. This information will be used to identify and address healthcare disparities of older adults and their caregivers.

Using carefully constructed case vignettes and a survey of oncology providers across a spectrum of settings, we sought to characterize early trends in internalization of the girentuximab PET-CT into care.

The purpose of this study is to improve the teaching training and teaching support OB/GYN residents receive during their residency. We will use a human-centered design (HCD) approach to create a UNC OB/GYN specific curriculum for resident teaching. The first phase of this project, the Inspiration Phase, gathers information about the current reality of resident teaching. Using this information we will eventually create and implement an effective resident-as-teacher curriculum for OB/GYN residents at UNC.

Student researchers will develop a set of 10-15 infographics of interventions that incorporate the Safe Systems principles. This project will work closely with the NC Vision Zero team to gather input from key road safety partners across the country (e.g., the Vision Zero Network, and Families for Safe Streets) via interviews to identify interventions to highlight, collaborate with the design team at NC State's Institute for Transportation Research and Education to produce quality materials, and work with local NC communities to conduct usability testing of materials and create a dissemination plan for the NC Vision Zero team.

This study will investigate how undergraduate students create citations (e.g. in MLA or APA style). It will also investigate student interest in using reference managers to create citations and bibliographies, and how students would like to learn about reference managers.

This study is meant to help identify patients who are at high risk for cardiovascular events.

This study is an in-depth, qualitative research study with a longitudinal design that will assess if and how post-traumatic growth and radical healing are experienced among Black/African American youth (ages 13-18) exposed to racial trauma who participate in a YPAR intervention. Our longitudinal qualitative design, with quantitative integrated only for qualitative comparison by group purposes, allows us to explore shared patterns and differences across youth-serving contexts without neglecting person-level factors (i.e., racial identity and racism-related stress) that may impact the experience of post-traumatic growth and radical healing among Black/African American youth exposed to racial trauma. Our approach is grounded in the involvement and perspectives of youth and adult supporters in our respective communities.
