Study of the Tsunami Aftermath and Recovery (STAR)

We are studying how exposure to a natural disaster, the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, affects population health over time. For fifteen years we have been interviewing a group of people who were part of a government survey before the tsunami, in 2004. Our goal is to understand the evolution of well-being after a disaster and how government and private assistance programs affect people.

Be CALM for Early College High Schools

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.

Understanding School Mental Health Supports for Adolescents with Suicide Risk during COVID-19

Mental health care for adolescents at-risk to suicide is often provided in school settings and school professionals play a role in suicide prevention by fostering a sense of connectedness to schools. The practice of social distancing to reduce the spread of COVID-19 has disrupted these school-based mental health services and left adolescents with few opportunities to connect with peers or adults outside their home making them vulnerable to suicide. Despite these challenges, this time period affords an opportunity to learn how to mitigate the impacts of this disruption, providing insights that extend to school closure related to inclement weather, natural disasters, and extended leaves due to mental health crises (e.g., hospitalization) faced by adolescents with suicidal urges. The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences of parents and adolescents with suicidal behaviors receiving school-based mental health services and supports during COVID-19. This study aims to provide

Reasons for dialysis circuit clotting

We want to learn why and how some people on dialysis form blood clots in the dialysis machine or in their fistula. Most patients on dialysis receive a blood thinner called heparin to prevent these clots, but heparin can sometimes cause bleeding. We would like to know if safer medications could work in preventing these clots. This study is only about learning more information from blood samples and does not involve treatment.
