We are studying how to better care for people who come to the emergency room with chest pain. Right now, doctors use a tool called the HEART score to decide how serious the chest pain is and what tests the patient might need. But for patients who are in the "middle risk" group, it's hard to tell if they really need more heart tests or not. This can lead to too many tests and overcrowding in the hospital. Our study looks at new ways to help doctors decide which of these patients actually need more testing, so they can give the right care more quickly and avoid unnecessary delays or tests.
We are looking at which modifications to the AHA CPR certification class will help increase CPR education to Mandarin speakers. We are doing this because there are not many CPR classes accessible to Mandarin speakers.
We want to better understand what women with MS need to know about family planning, pregnancy, breastfeeding and safety of their babies. Participants' survey responses will help make a list of essential information that women living with MS who want to have kids need to know.
This study aims to understand the challenges of using music therapy to support patients before and after surgery. While past research shows that music therapy can help reduce anxiety and the need for pain medications, it is not commonly used in hospitals. To explore this, researchers will interview surgeons, nurses, hospital staff, and patients to learn more about the barriers and how music therapy might be better included in surgical care.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pramipexole extended release (ER) versus escitalopram for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) and mild neurocognitive disorder (MND) in people living with HIV (PWH). This study will also look at whether you experience any side effects from the study drugs.
The central aim of this UNC-Gillings Practicum opportunity is to offer a UNC-Gillings MPH student the opportunity to contribute to developing and improving our community-engaged, clinic-based and research project whose goal is to better understand the complex issues surrounding prevention, education, diagnosis, treatment and barriers to care for children and adults living with sickle cell disease in Kalangala, Uganda.
The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill School of Education is interested in conducting an educational research study with parents and their 4-5-year-old children. The broad goals of the project are to better understand how parents and children interact while reading together and engaging with age-appropriate science-related toys. This study will help us better understand how children learn and help promote positive academic outcomes.
We want to know what types of clinical research training are most useful to get a job in clinical research and to be promoted. We also want to know if people think a new tool called digital badges could be a better way to get training.
This study aims to investigate the use of linguistic landscape (LL) as a tool to teach Vietnamese language while drawing students' attention to the sociolinguistic aspects such as cultural authenticity, identity, language ideologies and variation.
This study will help us learn how educators use WorkTogetherNC Action Plans with students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). An Action Plan is an online planning tool for setting goals for adult life in areas such as employment, continuing education, and community living.
