The Back Pain Consortium (BACPAC) Research Program, a component of the NIH HEAL Initiative, is conducting a range of studies to better understand and treat chronic low back pain.  This online questionnaire is forclinicians who treat patients with low back pain and will gather information on how they assess their patients, how they decide on a treatment approach(es), and the research needed to improve care and outcomes for these patients. This information will be used by BACPAC researchers in the development of future research studies.

This Incubation Project is motivated by ethical questions around policies and practices concerning research engagement with U.S. Indigenous Peoples whose tribes are unrecognized by the federal government. The pilot study includes activities aimed at (1) elucidating their perspectives on environmental research ethics, (2) evaluating the breadth and depth of current environmental research engagements within their communities, and (3) assessing their perspectives and gathering feedback on emerging research policies.

This purpose of this activity is to assess whether validated newborn indicators are feasible to implement in health facilities in Bangladesh.

The purpose of this research study is to learn about how family advocates/specialists/support workers perceive the families they work with and how they support their partnerships with diverse families.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine differences in proportions of participants achieving clinical remission at Week 12, comparing eltrekibart versus placebo, in adult patients with moderate-to-severe UC. This will be followed by a 40-week Maintenance Period to explore safety and the durability of remission.

The aim of this questionnaire is to explore awareness, perceptions and utilisations of PPI (Patient & Public Involvement) and the barriers to its use among researchers within the Psychiatric Genomics Research community. This survey is part of ongoing work from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) Outreach Committee and the International Society of Psychiatric Genetics (ISPG). Data will inform the PGC Outreach Committee on how it can support PGC members in their outreach activities and will be shared at a PGC World Wide Lab 2024/2025.

Primary care and behavioral health providers who accept patients on Medicaid will be surveyed regarding their satisfaction with the current fee for service payment model and the managed care payment model that NC Medicaid is transitioning to.

Individuals who suffer anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are at an increased risk of developing knee osteoarthritis, a condition that results in chronic pain and disability. The purpose of this research study is to determine if adding vibration to standard rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction surgery improves gait biomechanics (how your joints move while walking); muscle function; symptoms, disability, and quality of life; and indicators of knee joint health more effectively than rehabilitation alone.

The purpose of this research study is to survey what is currently being practiced among current third/fourth year dental students at the UNC Adams School of Dentistry with regards to treatment of dental infections.

Students in advanced academic programming, such as that provided in Early College High Schools (ECHSs), may experience stress that interferes with their academic success. Although ECHSs provide many supports to students, there is a need for additional programming to support students' social-emotional development and stress resilience. This study involves further developing, refining, implementing, and testing a multi-tiered adaptation of Be CALM (Cool, Attentive, Logical, and Mature), a mindfulness-based SEL program that aims to enhance staff and student wellbeing and SEL competencies. Mindfulness is a practice of Pressing the Pause on purpose and Tuning In to the present moment with a curious and kind attitude that has been shown to benefit social and emotional wellbeing in students. We expect that knowledge gained from this study will be used to advance understanding of how mindfulness may be helpful to ECHS students, teachers, and counselors.
