The proposed project aims to improve documentation of occupational heat-related injuries and fatalities in North Carolina for the purposes of better designing and implementing protective measures for workers, particularly Latine farmworkers.
Screening tool to collect broader demographic and clinical data. Enhance understanding of site specific and trial specific accrual barriers.
The GET SET Study is a research study for women who take medicines to help keep breast cancer from coming back. These medicines are called endocrine therapies and include Tamoxifen and Arimidex. The study will test different kinds of extra support programs, such as daily text message reminders and telephone counseling sessions, for women taking these medicines. We want to learn which support programs help women take their medicine as it is prescribed by their doctor.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the challenges of providing supported employment services to justice-involved individuals with severe mental illnesses.
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.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the impact of the Well-Being Initiative for Woman Faculty of Color (the "Program") on overall well-being, career advancement and professional success. The Program is designed for early and mid-career Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) women faculty at U.S. Schools of Pharmacy and Departments of Pharmacology at research-intensive institutions. The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, in collaboration with Houston Wellness Workshops for Women (H3W), has developed this two-year program to support the well-being and professional advancement of BIPOC women faculty in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences research. Participants in the study will take voluntary surveys during the Program to evaluate three factors: well-being, burnout, and self-efficacy in their professional academic roles before and after completing the Program.
To what extent does the unequal distribution of local wealth explain disparities in social outcomes (education, health, upward mobility)? How do individuals think that inequality around them impacts their own lives? This study aims to provide explorative evidence on people's reasoning.
The purpose of this study is to: 1) Examine the benefit of provider directed active rehabilitation therapies ("Active Rehab") to supplement the progressive return to activity therapies in accelerating return to duty and improving cognitive and functional limitations following mTBI, and 2) operationalize and disseminate a clinical active rehabilitation algorithm for use in military settings
The purpose is to provide students enrolled in certain introduction-level Poli Sci courses with firsthand research experiences, and to provide political science researchers with a method for research participant recruitment.
Most professionals working with JJ-involved youth have little understanding of how neuroscience and brain development can shape effective strategies for treatment. This gap in knowledge can lead to misconceptions about adolescent behavior, compromising the effectiveness of their approaches. There is also a gap in the connection between scientific research and practical application within the JJ system. This gap often results in the use of cookie-cutter programs that rarely address individual drivers of problem behavior. Enhancing the knowledge of JJ professionals about brain development promises to foster more informed and effective approaches to JJ-involved youth by equipping professionals with better understanding of root causes and drivers of problem behaviors and helping to determine more effective treatment plans. The program proposed here bridges this gap begins by developing a manual for JJ professionals about how brain science can be useful in addressing the needs of youth in the system.
