The aim of this study is to increase awareness and use of the haptics simulation lab at a research medical university using gamification. When the University of North Carolina Adams School of Dentistry first purchased dental case simulators (Simodont), they purchased two and put them in a room disassociated with the preclinical lab resulting in very little use of the simulators. In August of 2024, eight more simulators were purchase and all ten were moved to the preclinical lab. Orientations to the simulators were in the form of eModules on Canvas and face-to-face hands-on training. Faculty members desiring to use them in their courses met with the Simodont administrator to edit cases that came with the simulators. Currently first and second year dental students are using the simulated cases in their preclinical courses with the third and fourth year students already in the clinic attending to

The purpose of this study is to find better ways to keep people, especially kids, safe from lead in their homes. Lead is a dangerous metal that can harm the brain and body, even in small amounts. It's still found in many older homes, especially in paint/dust, soil, and drinking water. Getting a professional to test for lead can cost a lot of money and isn't always easy to do. Because of this, some families, especially in low-income and historically overlooked communities, may not know if their homes are safe. There are new, low-cost tools like test strips that let people test their homes themselves. This study is trying to find out how well these tools work and how easy they are for people to use.
