In this study, we want to learn how to help people better understand and engage with data. This work on data visualization projects aims to provide visualization design guidelines enabling people to better understand and engage with data. In this study, we will show the participants different types of graphs and ask them a few questions about those graphs.
The aim of this project is to assess the procedural skills of residents before and after implementation of a Urogynecology Resident Bootcamp prior to the start of their Urogynecology rotation. This bootcamp will include surgical simulations with a focus on vaginal hysterectomies. The bootcamp will also include assembly of a cystoscope and a video demonstrating cystoscopy during a urogynecologic surgery. As is currently routine in our program, residents will receive feedback using a formative feedback system called myTIPreport after they perform surgeries during the rotation. We hypothesize that this bootcamp will improve residents' feedback on performing a hysterectomy when compared to residents' feedback prior to implementation of this curriculum using myTIPreport. We will also evaluate if there is a change with overall resident satisfaction with the Urogynecology rotation and comfort level with performing vaginal hysterectomies in independent practice.
We are doing this study to learn if exercise impacts the effect of social tasks on energy use and heart function. Since exercise may impact metabolic factors such as energy use as well as the impact of social situations on cardiovascular disease, we want to see how exercise impacts the effect of social situations on energy and metabolism, and whether this may affect your heart health.
The Lower Extremity Assessment Protocol (LEAP) is a program to prevent reinjury and promote long-term health by characterizing muscle function, evaluating movement performance, and monitoring patient-reported outcomes (e.g., pain). The purpose of this study is to learn more about the outcomes following orthopaedic surgery after a lower limb injury. *This study is a collaboration with the UNC Sports Medicine Institute*
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the tolerability and safety of a daily immunotherapy tablet (SLIT-tablet) for people with peanut allergies. The goal of the SLIT-tablet is to increase tolerance to peanut protein, which could reduce the risk of allergic reactions caused by accidental exposure.
In this study, we want to learn more about health behaviors and access to health information from families with children under six.
Have you or your child been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes during the past 12 months? Are you interested in helping researchers learn more about how to delay or prevent type 1 diabetes or how to treat type 1 diabetes? Join a registry to be notified of future opportunities to participate in type 1 diabetes research!
The purpose of this study is to compare the bacteria in women who are taking either methenamine hippurate (Hiprex) or nitrofurantoin (Macrobid, Macrodantin) every day to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). We will compare bacteria in the bladder, vagina, and rectum. The information we learn by doing this study may help us better understand how these medications work to prevent UTIs.
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.
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.
