Many individuals who are/were Veterans, First Responders and/or Front Line Healthcare workers have experienced or witnessed events that have an impact on their lives, resulting in difficulty with body regulation. The purpose of this research study is to see whether the Alliance180 Program, which includes a transformative equine experience, can help individuals feel more in control, more confident, and more physically regulated, which then allows space for improved psychological well-being (i.e., feeling safe and connected with family, friends and others).
We are performing a clinical study to determine the optimal frequency for medications for infected pleural fluid, referred to as intrapleural enzyme therapy (IET). Participants will either receive once daily IET or twice daily IET. We hypothesize that once daily IET will be non-inferior to twice daily IET.
This study aims to understand how UNC Exercise and Sport Science (EXSS) students use generative AI (GenAI) for everyday and coursework purposes, and the barriers and facilitators to its use in these settings. GenAI is growing in use among college students and it is important to understand how students apply this technology into their college education.
To explore people with lived and living experience (PWLLE) of opioid use and/or taking methadone on the feasibility of and interest in pharmacy-centered methadone access at rural community pharmacies. The model for which we will elicit PWLLE perspectives parallels several similar successful programs that exist outside of the US and several successful small-scale pilots that have been conducted in urban areas of the US, including NC.
To explore community pharmacist perspectives on the feasibility of and interest in pharmacy-centered methadone access at rural community pharmacies. The model for which we will elicit pharmacists' perspectives parallels several similar successful programs that exist outside of the US and several successful small-scale pilots that have been conducted in urban areas of the US, including NC.
How can integrating structured collective reflection, informed by context-specific cultural ethos, enhance and evidence student learning and transformation in STSA programs? The purpose is to improve short term study abroad facilitators' limited understanding of how transformative experiences are facilitated and how their impact can be effectively assessed.
The purpose of this study is to understand how people interact with AI tools.
The goal of this study is to examine the determinants of individuals' policy preferences as well as their attitudes toward international political institutions. This survey includes two embedded survey experiments, each examining a different aspect of individuals' preferences. The first experiment examines how information about depopulation risk affects individuals' immigration policy preferences by randomly varying whether subjects receive information about depopulation. The second experiment examines how the expansion of an international organization affects individuals' attitudes toward international organizations, as well as their attitudes toward member and non-member states. Overall, this study aims to understand the determinants of individuals' attitudes toward policies related to various aspects of globalization.
Our study is about helping landowners bring back the longleaf pine forest, an important type of forest in the southeastern U.S. This forest is home to unique plants and animals, helps clean the air and water, and is better at handling tough weather than other forests. We want to learn why some landowners join programs that support growing these trees and why others don't. We are especially focused on understanding the challenges faced by minority landowners, like African American families with heirs' property. By listening to their stories, we hope to find ways to make these programs easier for everyone to join, so more longleaf pine forests can grow and thrive for future generations.
The reasons this study is being conducted are: • To see if human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antiretroviral medicines that you are taking continue to work well in transgender women and other individuals identifying as female or transfeminine but with male sex assigned at birth (referred to as transgender women throughout this form) when taken with feminizing hormone therapy (FHT), also known in this study as estradiol; and • To see if estradiol levels in blood vary between boosted and un-boosted HIV medicines when transgender women are taking different doses of FHT.
