We are collecting breastmilk samples to study the amounts and kinds of chemical contaminants in human milk to understand how infants can be exposed through breastfeeding. We are also trying to identify factors that may contribute to greater amounts of these chemicals in milk.

Study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the InnAVasc Arteriovenous Graft (IG) for hemodialysis (HD) access in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

The purpose of this study is to examine people's intentions to perform different health behaviors, and what individual factors predict these intentions.

We are doing a study to learn how quickly blood inside the eye goes away on its own. This kind of bleeding is called a vitreous hemorrhage. It can make it hard for people to see clearly. We will use a special eye ultrasound to take pictures over time and measure how the blood is clearing up. By doing this, we hope to learn when doctors might need to step in and when it's safe to wait and watch.

We are studying how eye pressure changes right after an Avastin injection, a common treatment for eye conditions. We want to see if there are differences in eye pressure between people with and without glaucoma, and between those with and without a tube placed in the eye to help with pressure. This will help doctors better understand how to care for patients after these injections.

To address gaps in puberty education by developing a bilingual needs assessment and providing accessible, age-appropriate educational materials and in-person sessions for underserved 8-12-year-old patients at the UNC Pediatric Resident Clinic.

This project aims to develop and implement a brief educational intervention that improves third-year medical students' confidence and ability to teach in the clinical environment. Specifically, it introduces a structured "Mini Chalk Talk" (MCT) curriculum during the OB-GYN clerkship to equip students with foundational teaching skills.

This study is to test a prototype for a jupyter widget that can be used to compare two sets of health records data to help detect selection bias.

1) Assess and compare adherence to IV and subcut vedolizumab maintenance therapy in patients with IBD using a novel remote monitoring system. 2) Assess symptom response to vedolizumab post induction (week 6-8) and during maintenance therapy (week 26) using a novel remote monitoring system. 3) Assess time to response to vedolizumab during induction (weeks 0-6) using a novel remote monitoring system.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation and impact of School Extension Learning Recovery Programs (SLERPs) authorized by the NC General Assembly in response to Hurricane Helene. These SLERPs will serve students in grades 4-8 in 13 western NC counties in summer 2025. The study team will collect data on SLERP program plans, student enrollments and attendance, benchmark exam scores, EOG scores, attendance, and grades for program attendees. The researchers will also conduct observations of SELRPs; interview district and school staff in the programs; and survey students and staff to understand stakeholders views of the programs. We will use a mixed methods approach to understand program implementation and impacts. Results from the study will provide evidence to education policymakers and practitioners on how the programs were designed and implemented; program impacts on student academic and school engagement outcomes; and the relationship between the program design and student outcomes.
