The research study seeks to improve the effectiveness of warnings for little cigars and cigarillos (LCCs) among youth. Scientific findings will provide novel and necessary evidence regarding the effectiveness of LCC warnings and will inform efforts to strengthen warnings through larger warning size and added images. Ultimately, this research can be used to reduce LCC use among youth and lessen tobacco-related disparities.
In this study, we want to learn about the differences in the personal values of donors based on cultural and ethnic backgrounds. This will help organizations to better understand how to engage people from various cultures and ethnicities on issues that affect their communities.
The UNC Center for Women's Mood Disorders wants to learn more about mood and brain function during the menopause transition. During this big life change, many women feel and behave differently because of the changes that are happening inside their bodies. We want to find ways to help women feel better during this time. We also want to help them understand the reasons for the strong emotions and different thoughts they might be having.
Latino/a/x populations are diverse, and one area of diversity is by race.

We are doing this study to test two programs that can help reduce stress and prevent chronic disease in people who are unemployed/underemployed and looking for work.
We are designing a device that aims to use voice technology to collect dietary recall data. We are recruiting Registered Dietitian's aged 22+ years willing to participate in a 40 minute virtual session.

We are doing this study to learn about the effects of treating schizophrenia with clozapine compared to antipsychotic treatment.

If you choose to take part, we will do some assessments including blood draws, physical exams, questionnaires, and interviews.
Do you have any of your baby teeth or are you a parent who has kept your child's baby teeth? Are you a young adult or a parent of a child age 25 or under? Did you know scientists can learn all about different medications, foods, and environmental exposures in a child's early life from their teeth? You may be able to take part in a research study to learn what factors increase children's risk of developing EoE (eosinophilic esophagitis)! We are looking for children and young adults (age 0-25) with or without EoE to volunteer. Compensation will be provided.
