Our study is evaluating the development of a course created by 3rd and 4th year medical students to teach 1st year medical students about COVID-19 and pandemics. The study aims to survey course instructors and students to determine if the course was created in a way that is efficient and if the course was useful to students.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions within communities or individuals of racial minorities or people of color toward COVID-19 vaccination and factors that may contribute to vaccine hesitancy. This information will help us identify factors associated with participants' willingness and likelihood of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.
Purpose: To understand the experiences of employees during the Covid-19 pandemic and what factors may impact their behaviors and experiences post-pandemic.
The purpose of this project is to explore the role of debt and debt aversion on college completion among Latinos.
This is a survey to collect information about experiences of weight stigma and discrimination before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This implementation science study will use mixed methods and an interrupted time series design to evaluate an implementation strategy intended to expand the reach and effectiveness of COVID-19 testing and vaccination services in underserved populations in the Piedmont region of NC. The primary service outcomes (i.e., reach and effectiveness) will be evaluated using review of existing routinely collected data. The primary implementation outcomes will be assessed through mixed methods research with patients who received, and providers who delivered, COVID-19 testing or prevention services, such as vaccination, at a Consortium-supported site such as a Federally Qualified Health Center administered by Piedmont Health. A standardized script will be used to inform potential participants about the study, their research options, and to screen to see if they are preliminarily eligible to take part in the study.
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and impact of a partnership between Good Bowls and local restaurants currently out of work (or working less) due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our goal is to examine differences in 250 AL communities' preparedness for and response to COVID-19 across 7 states, and how preparedness and response varies by a) AL characteristics (e.g. provision of memory care for residents with ADRD, chain affiliation), b) medical and mental health care provision (e.g., on-site medical care, medical directorship, proportion of residents with the same provider), and c) relates to resident outbreaks.
In this research study we want to learn more about COVID-19, including how the immune systems of children and young adults work to prevent COVID-19 and to help them recover from it.
This study is partnering with communities to identify the best ways to provide COVID-19 testing and vaccines to people who have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19. This includes communities of color, essential workers, immigrants and migrants, people in rural areas, and people with chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure. We want to train community outreach workers and peer recruiters from community and faith-based organizations to help reach these underserved populations with COVID-19 testing and COVID-19 vaccines - a strategy known as "community-based task shifting." Thus, we will be conducting focus groups and theater testing sessions and questionnaires with patients who have received COVID-19 health services and focus groups and interviews with key stakeholders and theater testing sessions and questionnaires with individuals who work in community outreach or peer health education organizations for COVID-19 health services.
