In this study, we want to learn if wearable technology can be used to assess interactions between grandparents and grandchildren. We want to find out if these interactions affect markers associated with grandparent wellbeing. This study will help us to develop new methods that will let us better understand the impact of grandparenting on the health of grandparents.
The purpose of this research project is to learn about whether a personalized eating plan designed specifically for teens with type 1 diabetes will help them better manage their blood sugar. This plan will be individualized to teens' unique preferences and daily routines. A dietician will provide ongoing support to the teen and family throughout the project
Individuals with a history of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and have had an ACL reconstruction (ACLR) are at a greater risk for developing osteoarthritis. The greater risk for developing osteoarthritis is likely caused by too little force or physical activity applied to the knee during weightbearing tasks such as walking. To reduce this decrease in forces during walking following an ACLR, we must first develop effective treatments that can train a person to walk in a way that reduces their risk of developing osteoarthritis. The purpose of this research study is to determine the feasibility and the initial effects of a 6-week training program designed to improve walking mechanics of individuals with an ACL reconstruction.
The objective of the study is to establish a prospective disease registry for chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO)/chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) in order to investigate the natural history of the disease and the responses of patients to different clinical managements over 5 years.
The purpose of this research study is to better understand the cause and course of clinical high-risk symptoms and to monitor participants for the possible development of mental illnesses such as psychosis. Clinical high-risk symptoms can include feeling low in mood, feeling like something odd is going on, feeling suspicious, or seeing or hearing things that the person knows aren't there. Some people might worry that their thoughts are being heard or might be having more difficulty than usual coping with work, school, or relationships. For some, these early symptoms may become more severe over time. For others, the symptoms may stay the same, decrease, or go away entirely. Improving our knowledge about these symptoms and risk factors and the way that they change over time may help researchers and clinicians predict possible outcomes for individual patients and develop treatment plans that are best suited to individual patients.
We are interested in improving the intersectional experiences of women of color in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at UNC. We are doing this study to understand the factors that hinder and support STEM persistence among graduate and undergraduate women of color at UNC.
Do you ever wonder if there is a connection between oral and gut health and food allergies? Well, so do we! We are trying to enroll pediatric participants in our registry study to determine what the link is and use it to possibly help treat patients in the future.
Have you been diagnosed with schizophrenia? Have you ever been prescribed clozapine? If you answered yes to both questions, you may be able to participate in a research study to find out how clozapine affects brain function to improve schizophrenia symptoms. Compensation provided.
In this study, we want to learn more about a program (STOMP) designed to improve chronic pain in people living with HIV.
The purpose of this study is to explore what a church is and what it means to attend one. In this study, we will interview people who have personal experience designing, leading, or leaving church spaces.
