The study will evaluate staff experiences of transitioning participants from long term care facilities back into the community through the Money Follows the Person program. Challenges and best practices will be identified in order to inform program improvements.
We are surveying staff about how they use and think about comfort rooms at UNC Youth Behavioral Health
The purpose of the study is to provide a detailed view of the impact of MMN and MMN treatment on patients in the real world. This protocol aims to collect data from participants with MMN to characterize the disease's course and management and the humanistic and economic burden on patients
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the survival outcome of patients with first recurrence of GBM undergoing surgical debulking/resection followed by either implantation of the SC9 device and repeat BBB opening in association with carboplatin chemotherapy or standard of care second line chemotherapy with either lomustine or temozolomide (per best physician's choice and best practice).
The aim of this project is thus to explore people's judgments (e.g., fairness, efficiency) of different allocation procedures .
We aim to develop, field-test, and promote improved ways to measure and assess the public health hazards associated with sanitation systems and practices in sub-Saharan Africa, with the overall goal of informing sanitation planning and implementation at community levels. This will involve learning more about the range and distribution of sanitation technologies encountered in two cities of Africa (i.e., Kampala and Lusaka). Learning more about the levels of microbiological hazard in onsite sanitation systems especially septic tanks and other technology-specific lessons can be usefully incorporated in citywide sanitation improvement tools.

We would like to better understand what adverse symptoms occur after cardiac surgery and intensive care and how symptoms evolve over time. We will be following patients' symptoms from prior to their surgery to three months after ICU discharge.
We are conducting a survey to further understand the physical symptoms and healthcare experiences related to non-hormonal practices of gender affirmation for transgender, nonbinary, and gender diverse adults. These include binding, tucking, packing, padding, and other practices. There is community knowledge that many of these practices can lead to physical symptoms and consequences, but there are few studies that demonstrate this. We are interested in exploring what the burden of symptoms are in our community, and what the community member response is.
