The purpose of this study is to engage patients living with Cystic Fibrosis who identify as Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC) in a learning process that will involve photography to facilitate group discussions and explore nuances of managing a chronic illness as a BIPOC individual.
This is a research study to learn about the long-term outcomes from total hip arthroplasty, also called a hip replacement. As a patient who has received a hip replacement over 5 years ago, we are interested in your x-ray findings, physical exam, and satisfaction with ability to carry out activities of daily living.
We are studying people's desire to engage with opposing viewpoints
We want to see how using special computer tools called generative AI can help teach nursing students better. We are studying if training teachers to use these tools helps them and their students learn more about AI. This study will also help us find out if these tools help us with teaching and learning about nursing.
The purpose of this study is to look at how a medical school elective course impacts medical students' learning about food and nutrition. We will be asking students about their knowledge, skills, and confidence related to nutrition and addressing nutrition-related needs of patients. We will also be assessing students' dietary behaviors. We will assess the long-term impact of the survey on students' confidence, practice behaviors, and opinions.
The purpose of this study is to create new ways to prevent heart disease that help people, specifically African-Americans, access resources to live a healthy life using a "whole person" approach to cardiovascular disease and social needs, especially in high-need communities.
Patients unable to participate in decision-making about their care deserve a surrogate decision-maker to act on their behalf. In this study we will examine typical patterns employed by trainees to identify surrogates and communicate basic understanding of the surrogate role.
This study is interested in how our collective memories of the past shape our lives in the present, how they construct or shore up identity, and how they manifest in the built world around us. This research attends to the ways that material practices of remembrance-museums, memorials, and monuments-related to the history of the Transatlantic slave trade operate rhetorically to uphold or challenge investments and identities in American public life. Particularly in a moment of active public discourse around this subject, I maintain a rhetorical perspective that engages questions about how, when, and where this discourse occurs and what publics and counter-publics it constructs. This study aims to interrogate the effectiveness of material and discursive rhetorical decisions in such sites by developing critical insights and perspectives for the operation of museums, memorials, and heritage sites in North Carolina and Louisiana.
We want to better understand hearing (like speech perception or sound source localization) across the lifespan.
Our project aims to document how COVID-19 is changing schools and families, and to trace the ways these changes are shaping educational inequality. In collaboration with North Carolina's Guilford County Schools, we are surveying school leaders, teachers, and parents and guardians about the academic, material, and socio-emotional resources that school communities are collectively employing in response to the pandemic. Our analyses will document school school/family collaboration during the COVID-19 crisis; investigate racial and socioeconomic inequalities in access to school services and supports; and evaluate the consequences of school supports and school/family collaboration for learning loses during the pandemic-induced interruption in regular schooling. Ultimately, we hope this project will shed light on strategies that can mitigate the pandemic's potentially disastrous consequences for educational inequality.
