Effects of Alliance180 Program

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).

Medication Frequency for Infected Pleural Fluid

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.

An interview study to identify people with lived and living experiences' perspectives on methadone dispensing at community pharmacies

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.

Italy public opinion and globalization study

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.

Listening to longleaf landowners: Responding to the decline in CRP

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.
