The purpose of this study is to understand what helps students at UNC thrive-academically, socially, and personally. Earlier this year, we conducted a survey to measure student well-being, but numbers alone don't tell the full story. Now, we are interviewing students to learn more about their experiences. These interviews will help us understand what supports student success and what challenges students face. Our goal is to provide UNC with better information to improve campus life, mental health resources, and academic support. By listening to students, we hope to make UNC a place where more students can flourish.
We want to empower communities to support Veterans and their families across all Vital Conditions. Veterans are a high risk group for mental illness and we want to prevent mental health crises by highlighting community capacity and enhancing strategic access to resources.
The primary endpoint for this study is subjects achieving either a decrease in Urgency Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score of ≥ 2 points, or a decrease in score of ≥ 30%, at 12 weeks. Success is defined as ≥ 50% of enrolled subjects meeting the primary endpoint.
We are implementing a curriculum of 6 clinical cases within the Physician Assistant Pharmacology curriculum and assessing whether or not student's learned more from case-based learning or didactic lecture teaching style. We are doing this in order to understand whether or not case-based methods for instruction should be implemented within Physician Assistant curriculum specifically in pharmacology eduction. This research will allow for more information to be gained on the topic of PA Pharmacology education in order to employ the most useful curriculum strategies for future learners.
We are looking for links between cystic fibrosis outcomes and a history of intimate partner violence.
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 participate in longleaf pine incentive programs, such as the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), while others do not. Specifically, we are examining landowner motivations, barriers to enrollment, management practices during and after participation, post-CRP land use decisions, and persistence of longleaf pine forests following the end of program support. By listening to landowners' experiences, we hope to identify ways to improve these programs, making them more accessible and effective in promoting the growth and sustainability of longleaf pine forests for future generations.
The purpose of this study is to understand how employees interact with each other at work.
Using mixed methods to understand household exposure to multiple contaminants through private well water sampling in Caswell, Alamance, and Sampson Counties. We will also create training materials, systems maps, and guidelines for working with marginalized populations. We will survey state agency leaders to better understand environmental training needs to create the training materials.
I will be evaluating the usefulness of a standardized handoff tool, the I-PASS tool, in improving nurse to nurse shift handoff on an adult behavioral health unit.
To compare the prevalence, severity, and timing of chronic health conditions (CHC) in a cohort of patients with DS-AL (Down Syndrome Acute Leukemia) with age-comparable DS individuals that have no cancer history. Our secondary objectives will compare NP (Neuro-Psychological) and health-related quality of life outcomes in survivors of DS-AL compared with age-comparable DS individuals with no cancer history, and will identify risk determinants of CHC and NP late effects among survivors of DS-AL.
