This project examines the impact of Medicaid expansion in two states (RI and KY) on opioid overdose deaths (OOD), suicides, and homicides deaths among formerly incarcerated persons (FIPs) using a comparison state that has not expanded Medicaid (North Carolina). It will also detail state-specific models from Kentucky (KY) and Rhode Island (RI) for expanding Medicaid. The hypothesized benefits of Medicaid expansion include increased access to substance abuse and mental health services and increased opportunities for legal employment.

The purpose of this research study is to explore the ways in which Family Moral, Wellness, and Recreation (MWR) libraries achieve the mission of MWR services by examining libraries in context of creating resiliency in their member communities through their diverse library programs and services. Library programs are currently a popular research field in Information and Library Science (ILS), but little research has looked explicitly at MWR library programming, and how those programs are created for their user community, the military population, making this topic an area of interest in the ILS field. Understanding how MWR libraries utilize their programming to meet the mission of MWR will create opportunities for future research and assessment of library programs and their impact on resiliency outcomes in the military community.

This clinical registry is an observational study to collect prospective and retrospective data on subject health, wounds and wound care procedures from medical centers, including skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, outpatient clinics, Home Health and any other medical environment where wounds are treated.

To examine the effect of certain medications on the amount of placental DNA in the blood of pregnant women.

The overall goal of Part I of this study is to collect information about your leukemia and your response to the first phase of treatment, called Induction. You may be offered the chance to take part in Part II of this study after Induction once your B-ALL risk group is known. Depending on your risk group, there is a chance that you may be randomized to receive the investigational medicine, blinatumomab plus standard treatment during Part II.

The purpose of this research study is to explore the post-treatment barriers faced by adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors to therefore adapt the Needs Assessment and Service Bridge (NA-SB) tool produced by the UNC AYA Cancer Program. You are being asked to take part in a research study because you are an adolescent or young adult who has experienced cancer survivorship.

We are studying how myasthenia gravis (MG) affects women during important life stages like menstruation, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. MG is a rare, chronic condition causing muscle weakness. Many women with MG notice changes in symptoms during their periods or pregnancies. We want to understand these changes better to help doctors treat female MG patients more effectively. By collecting information through surveys, we aim to learn about symptom fluctuations related to hormonal changes and identify patterns. This study will provide valuable insights into the unique experiences of women with MG during these life stages, guiding future medical practices and improving care for individuals managing this condition.

The purpose is to understand people's individual experience at work as well as the way people experience interactions with others at work.

Foster children are a vulnerable population in the US. One study found that youth who have a history of foster care had higher levels of oral health issues and less access to dental care compared with children who do not have a history of foster care. The purpose of this study is to learn the knowledge, attitudes, and experiences of foster caregivers in North Carolina and how dental care and oral health behaviors of their foster children are affected as a result of these factors. With this information, oral health interventions for the foster care community can be created.

This project seeks to broaden and improve the efficacy of library staff to support communities in crisis and to build a Field Guide that library staff can use to achieve this goal. The Field Guide's purpose is to prepare public library staff to support historically marginalized youth and families during current and future crises (such as pandemics, hurricanes, water supply, energy, wildfire, etc.) and the consequences of such crises (gaps in fundamental literacy, limited access to information, disparities in learning opportunities, etc.)
