The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of Vertex Pulmonary Embolectomy System in treating pulmonary embolisms
This study seeks to understand how employees respond to their leaders and the norms and expectations within their work enviornments.
The purpose of this study is to determine if, and to what extent, elite cue-giving affects approval of nuclear energy. Participants will be assigned to either an experimental or control group. The experimental group will be asked to read a stimulus regarding nuclear energy directly cited from a renowned physicist, who functions as an elite cue giver. Then, participants will be asked to evaluate the extent to which they agree with statements such as, "nuclear energy is a reliable resource" and "nuclear energy should be advocated for by my political party more." The control group will read a similar stimulus that is not credited to any elite cue giver, and then evaluate the same statements as the experimental group. The investigator will then compare concerns and support for nuclear energy between the experimental and control group.
The purpose of this research study is to examine factors that affect team problem-solving and problem identification. You will participate in a group decision-making task and answer questions about your perceptions, attributions, and behavior.
We are studying the relationships between migraine and postpartum mood for the first three months after childbirth. We are interested in how women are able to cope with their migraine symptoms during the postpartum (after childbirth), and whether this affects their mood. We know that migraine and postpartum mood can be worse in women who have lower income and who identify with a minoritized racial or ethnic group. We are exploring why.
The purpose of this research is to improve early diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and through the implementation of cascade screening, or family genetic testing for FH. To identify areas for improvement, we are recruiting stakeholders to participate in qualitative interviews. We will use this information to better understand barriers and facilitators for a specific diagnostic strategy called cascade screening. This strategy involves contacting family members to discuss their risk of having familial hypercholesterolemia and arranging for screening to check for very high cholesterol and genes associated with it. Once this tool has been implemented, we will conduct 20 more qualitative interviews to further understand barriers and facilitators to adoption of the diagnostic tool.
Family caregivers of older adults with cognitive impairment experience significant care burden, impacting their mental health and well-being. Studies indicate that heightened caregiver burden can negatively affect the caregiver-patient relationship, leading to increased behavioral and psychological symptoms in patients with cognitive impairment. These symptoms, in turn, increase caregiver burden and worsen their mental health. However, limited evidence characterizes these complex interpersonal dynamics. Therefore, the overall objective of the study is to deeply explore the experiences of family caregivers of individuals with cognitive impairment, with a focus on their mental well-being.
The purpose of this consultative process is to engage a broad set of family planning experts to identify what factors should be prioritized in selecting new family planning metrics at the global, country and programmatic levels.
