To assess the effectiveness of a cardiac Point-of-Care ultrasound course by pre-course and post-course confidence level and cardiac ultrasound anatomy knowledge

The death of a parent is a traumatic event for their surviving co-parents and minor children, yet there is a lack of resources and support for widowed parents. The study aims to (1) better understand the reasons that parents express interest in the Widowed Parent Moms' or Dads' Groups, and (2) receive parents' feedback on the program.

This study seeks to form a better understanding of factors that affect researchers' decisions regarding whether and how to measure and report fidelity of implementation strategies. Findings may provide insight into the significant decline in implementation strategy fidelity measurement/reporting quality over time and elucidate ways to improve fidelity measurement of implementation strategies going forward.

The significance of this project is to go beyond the discourse of culturally responsive practices in early childhood education and attend to the cultural and holistic needs of children and families by providing in-depth knowledge about what it means to be in ACE schools for Black families and their children. Coupled with the fact that much of the extant research on ACE has been on students in the upper grades and there has been little attention to parents' motivation for choosing ACE preschool programs, this proposed project has implications both for addressing inequities in early care and education access and experiences for Black children but also identifying a culturally-rooted approach to meeting the racial, cultural, and developmental needs of Black diasporic children in the U.S. during a critical time of development. This insight from Black families can create, cultivate, and expand such programs and practices across the country.

to develop a prototype of the decision aid and assess the preliminary acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of using the tool to promote uptake of PrEP consultations among female STI and PrEP clinic clients in North Carolina.

The Comparison of Analgesic Regimen Effectiveness and Safety in Surgery (CARES) trial is a randomized controlled study comparing the outcomes of managing acute postoperative pain between two therapies: (1) A prescription for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and acetaminophen (Tylenol); OR (2) A prescription for low-dose opioids and acetaminophen (Tylenol) for patients scheduled for one of the following 3 surgeries: (1) gallbladder removal, (2) inguinal hernia repair, and (3) breast lumpectomy. This study is being done to learn which option works the best at relieving pain and has the least amount of side effects.

This study examines how willing people are to punish a person for committing an act of political violence based on whether the victim is a politician or civilian, and how a denouncer's status as a politician or civilian impacts people's willingness to punish political violence. Our experiment also aims to measure whether these variables impact participants' desire to run for office. The results of this study have several implications in the field. First, understanding how to change people's reactions to political violence may allow us to develop effective methods to decrease support for political violence. In addition, our results may provide insight into why people desire to run for office.
