To collect data (mid and long-term) for certain FDA approved endovascular devices.
We are doing a research study to understand how being treated rudely affects the decisions of anesthesiology residents. We want to see if being treated badly makes it harder for them to make good decisions during their training. This is important because it can help us make the work environment better and improve patient care.
The purpose of this study is to understand how people gather information from reference letters, which are short essays written by a former colleague or supervisor to support someone's application for a new role.
We are looking to see how patients undergoing total shoulder replacement are rating their satisfaction and function with the results of their surgeries. We want to know what patients are describing in their pre and postoperative course so the field can better tailor the details surrounding care of the procedure to individuals undergoing these surgeries in the future.
The TIMELY impact evaluation is a tracking study to evaluate the extent to which patients with lupus from North Carolina who are under the care of TIMELY-trained providers (rheumatologists, primary care providers, nephrologists, dermatologists) or have connected with local Community Health Workers (CHWs) have increased intentions and willingness to participate in lupus clinical trials and referrals, enrollment, and retention in lupus clinical trials.
This study focuses on human's deviation from information saturation with their personal satisfying strategy, aka, individual information satiety. This helps us to understand how and why humans decide what is enough for particular tasks, and inform us with better design guidelines for information systems.
The University of North Carolina Age-Based Genomic Screening program is an innovative paradigm that aims to provide targeted and highly actionable genetic information to parents via their child's routine wellness visits. The final stage of the program involves a pilot study that will expand pediatric genetic screening in well-child care across the states. In preparation for this final stage, we will conduct interviews with parents or caregiver of children in North Carolina to inform an implementation plan, educational and training materials, and evaluation plan for the pilot study. The interviews will consist of questions aimed at assessing barriers and facilitators to the implementation of ABGS, including parents' and children's healthcare and genetic screening experiences (such as blood and saliva collection), perceptions and interest in the ABGS program, expectations and experiences with healthcare providers, and the information needed for participation decisions.
The purpose of this study is to find out if an online learning module can be just as effective as in-person training for teaching anesthesia residents how to use a defibrillator. A defibrillator is a machine that helps restart a person's heart when it stops beating. The study will look at how well the residents can perform important tasks, like using the defibrillator to deliver a shock to the heart, both right after they learn and four months later. The goal is to see if the online training works as well as traditional hands-on training and if the residents prefer one method over the other.
The goal of this project is to understand how community pharmacies work collaboratively with patients to reduce the harm that opioid misuse can cause. Investigators are also seeking to understand what challenges community pharmacies face when trying to decrease harm from opioids by supporting safe use of opioid medications and access to medications for opioid use disorder treatment and opioid overdose reversal. Information gathering efforts are being focused on community pharmacies that serve racial and ethnic minority communities in rural areas. Triangle CERSI scientists are working collaboratively with the FDA to survey and interview pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, patients, and other community members to collect and analyze data needed to better understand community pharmacy challenges in these areas. Ultimately, investigators seek to explore effective ways to reduce the harm from opioid misuse among underserved communities.
The purpose of this study is to gather information from local public health departments in Texas on efforts to link individuals in their community to social and/or medical services also referred to as care coordination. The researchers seek to understand how care coordination work may help strengthen local public health departments.
