Alzheimer's Disease and Other Related Dementias- Palliative Care Program

The purpose of this research study is to develop the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias Palliative Care (ADRD-PC) program for persons with late-stage ADRD and their family members during a hospitalization. For patients, we aim to learn if this program of dementia-specific palliative is effective to reduce hospital transfers, improve symptom treatment, supplement supportive services and reduce nursing home transitions.

Evaluating an educational technology to support students' self-regulated learning

This study will explore student self-regulated learning behaviors in introductory biology classes. In particular, it will collect data regarding the effectiveness of training materials and educational technology tools (the "ZenStudy" app) on improving students' ability to self-regulate their own learning and, subsequently, their achievement in the course. In the first few weeks of class enrolled students will be asked to complete a survey to verify they are over the age of 18 and if so ask for their consent to be included in the study. Consenting participants will then be randomly assigned to conditions (control students will be asked to review a video and complete a reflective task, treatment students will be invited to utilize the ZenStudy application and complete an evaluative survey). Engagement with the ZenStudy application will then be analyzed as a potential moderator of student digital course engagement and achievement.

Trauma-informed pedagogy study

The purpose of this study is to find out how teachers at a large university dealt with a serious event on campus, specifically a shooting, and how they helped their students afterward. We want to learn if teachers used special teaching methods called "trauma-informed pedagogy", which are designed to support students who may have been scared or upset by the event. We are asking teachers to fill out a survey to tell us how they felt and what they did in their classrooms after the shooting. By understanding this, we hope to improve support for teachers and students in the future when difficult events happen.
