The purpose of this research study is to see how use of genetic testing to help doctors with choosing blood thinning medication after a heart procedure called an angioplasty (also called percutaneous coronary intervention or PCI) affects your risk of having a heart attack, stroke, death or bleeding. Some doctors use genetic testing to help decide which blood thinner to prescribe for a patient. By doing the study, the investigators will be able to look at clinical outcomes (heart attacks, stroke, death, bleeding) after genetic testing and prescribing of blood thinning medications for patients with different backgrounds and medical histories. They will also look for new genes that affect how blood thinners work.

Research study to prevent and reduce exposure to contaminated private well drinking water. Once participants provide consent, project staff administer a survey of prior well testing behavior, online or on paper. All consented participants who complete the survey receive a well test kit (via US mail or in person), which includes instructions, bottles, and an information sheet that requires participants to provide name / address and confirm they have followed recommended sampling protocol. Participants return samples to project staff, who will deliver samples to the UNC Superfund Research Program lab in the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. Once samples have been processed, project staff develop report-back letters and share results with participants. Within 3-6 months of results being provided, project staff will send an electronic or paper evaluation survey to participants, to document any water treatment actions and understand participant recall of test results and satisfaction with study participation.

Black women have worse breast cancer outcomes than White women. Physical activity can help cancer survivors live longer, feel better, and stay healthier. However, there aren't many health promotion programs to help Black women diagnosed with breast cancer become physically active, feel better, and stay healthy. The purpose of this study is to understand what kind of health promotion programs Black women diagnosed with breast cancer prefer and how different things affect their health and lifestyle. The insights gained from this study will help develop a customized health promotion program for Black women diagnosed with breast cancer.
