This study will evaluate the implementation of a community engagement plan and approach for implementing an at-home SARS-CoV-2 antigen self-testing intervention.
I aim to examine the impacts of remote schooling on the racial/ethnic achievement gaps in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools and what mechanisms led to this impact. My study will help map how the switch to remote schooling during the COVID-19 pandemic impacted student achievement, particularly for students from marginalized backgrounds as compared to privileged students.
Many teachers are experiencing stress, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The experience of stress may bring about many negative consequences. The present study is to investigate if and how different factors may influence individual teacher's experience of stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings of the current study may inform targeted interventions and policies to help teachers cope with work-related stress.
Physicians are at risk for high rates of depression, substance abuse, suicide, and burnout, an occupational phenomenon resulting from chronic workplace stress. New working conditions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated these occupational health burdens for physicians at a time when baseline levels of stress, burnout, and poor mental health were already overwhelmingly high.This onslaught of new (and potentially recurrent) acute stressors on top of chronic stress presents crisis of occupational health and moral integrity for physicians. There is an important need to (1) characterize the relationship between pandemic workplace conditions and adverse health outcomes (e.g. fatigue, stress, burnout, mental illness) and (2) identify work practices and organizational characteristics that promote occupational health and wellbeing and reduce the risk of such outcomes. To respond to these urgent and ongoing needs, we propose a novel exploratory study of the occupational wellbeing of physicians working on the front line of COVID-19 care.
The purpose of this research study is to understand how COVID-19 affected child care access in Durham and how child care impacts parents/guardians. We hope to use these insights to better inform policies designed to support caregivers and improve access to affordable child care.
This study asks participants about their pre-pandemic, current, and expected post-pandemic behaviors to better understand long-term societal changes that may occur as a result of the pandemic. The study focuses on transportation-related outcomes.
We will identify changes in the numbers, seriousness, and outcomes of breast cancers diagnosed during the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to before the pandemic.
Subjects who have tested positive for Covid-19, experiencing fatigue, and were referred for sleep testing are needed to complete a short survey. This research will be used to compare if fatigue was a new-onset.
The reason we are doing this study is to understand why some people who got COVID-19 are still sick many months after being infected, and how this affects the body. This is sometimes called "Long COVID" or "PASC", which stands for post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection. As part of the study, we would like to get information from you, and put that together with information from other children and families across the country. This will make it easier for us to learn about the different symptoms that children and families are getting, and to understand how many children and families are getting Long COVID, why some children and families are getting Long COVID, the effects that Long COVID is having on the body, and what can be done to help them.
The purpose is to understand the needs, resiliencies, and strengths of Black families during the pandemic. COVID-19 has disproportionately affected Black communities at higher rates; thusly, this study seeks to understand what families have use to survive and thrive during this period.
