This study hopes to identify barriers to care for patients with interstitial lung disease by surveying patient experiences with symptoms, diagnosis, ongoing treatment of their lung disease.
Neonatal mortality remains a significant challenge in Malawi, despite the country's success in reducing overall childhood mortality. We have identified significant gaps in infection control and routine neonatal care in tertiary facilities. As more childbirths are occurring in health facilities, it is crucial to identify areas for improvement and address these in each facility to enhance the quality of neonatal care. This study proposes a team-based approach to identifying areas for improvement with a high potential to significantly impact neonatal survival in surgical neonates. By including a wide range of individuals - from those working in the unit to providers interacting with the team to hospital leadership - we can design robust interventions with the potential for successful implementation and propagation. Our study proposes a reproducible model that other neonatal services or facilities may replicate. An additional benefit of a qualitative research-informed approach is empowering all team members to improve
The objective of PEGS is to provide a resource for environmental health translational research by examining environment and gene-environment interactions in health and disease. PEGS will incorporate exposure and health information with or without genomic information to uncover novel environmental risk factors for the most prevalent health conditions and diseases.
: The proposed study is a three-year mixed methods study of the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, and subsequent changes to state reproductive health policies, on mental health and work-related wellbeing of OB/GYNs. We will study how workplace factors, and organizational policies and practices, may lessen the impact of restrictive state policies on OB/GYNs' mental health, work-related wellbeing, and turnover intention. We will undertake a convergent mixed-method design, in which we will conduct a quantitative survey and qualitative interviews simultaneously. We will then conduct key informant interviews of OB/GYN and hospital leaders to determine the best methods and pathways for dissemination of findings.
We are examining the effectiveness of the Project ECHO teleconsultation model to train community and school providers who have previously participated in a clinical ADOS-II training in best practices for diagnosing and evaluating individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
The purpose of this study is to compare effects of the study drug fosmanogepix with already-approved drugs caspofungin and fluconazole to find out if fosmanogepix is safe and effective in treating patients with candidemia and/or invasive candidiasis.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine what the public reception, attitudes and behaviors are in response to having free sunscreen dispensers placed at several locations at a major educational institution. The secondary outcome is to better understand the baseline sun protection knowledge and risk amongst those affiliated with the university.
Explore expression of tolerance for uncertainty among UNC School of Medicine applicants and to compare these scores among admitted and rejected applicants.
We are testing private well water and surface waters in the Anderson Community in Caswell and Alamance Counties. We are also conducting a brief survey with residents to understand their drinking water concerns and use of nearby lakes and streams.
This project is about the state's role in the environmental management of fishery and conservation. Environmental management of conservation provides a lens to understand how the state and policies influence its people. This project examines how Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora regulations on species of Corallium reshape the livelihoods and identity of Taiwan and its coral fishery sectors. This research will analyze legal documents and news report and interview fishermen, coral jewelry artisans, and fisheries officials.
