To compare the effect of different types of nail polish on bacterial counts before and after surgical scrubbing.

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 study is to understand how people interact with AI tools.

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.

We are no longer recruiting for this study. With the participants we do have, we obtain MRI images of the child's brain and administer cognitive behavioral assessments every 2 years. We are looking at brain structure, along with the assessments, to hopefully find biomarkers that predict mental illness.

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.

Hunter Syndrome or Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) is a rare genetic disorder caused by decreased levels of a specific enzyme, iduronate-2-sulfatase. Lack of this enzyme causes buildup of large sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The build up of GAGs causes significant damage to the body and brain. This extension study is evaluating the long-term safety and efficacy of JR-141, an enzyme replacement therapy, to provide the missing enzyme to the body. This allows for break down of the stored GAGs. JR-141 uses specific technology to cross the blood brain barrier so that the enzyme can get into the brain. JR-141 is expected to help both the cognitive (brain) and body effects of MPS II.

The study team made a survey to assess what medical residents in OBGYN, Family Medicine, and Emergency Medicine programs across North Carolina know about expedited partner therapy. The survey also looks at the challenges and helpful factors related to using this therapy.

The purpose of this research study is to use electroencephalography (EEG) to refine our understanding of the neural mechanisms that give rise to the memory changes observed in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The information we learn from doing this study may help improve diagnosis of MCI in the future.

This study aims to understand how 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.
