To understand whether rural pharmacies' ability and interest in offering COVID-19 vaccinations

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 project is to understand the experiences and perceptions of speech and language pathologists (SLPs) providing virtual intervention services as a result of COVID-19 to children with disabilities who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) .

This study is partnering with communities to identify the best ways to provide COVID-19 testing and vaccines to people who have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19. This includes communities of color, essential workers, immigrants and migrants, people in rural areas, and people with chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure. We want to train community outreach workers and peer recruiters from community and faith-based organizations to help reach these underserved populations with COVID-19 testing and COVID-19 vaccines - a strategy known as "community-based task shifting." Thus, we will be conducting focus groups and theater testing sessions and questionnaires with patients who have received COVID-19 health services and focus groups and interviews with key stakeholders and theater testing sessions and questionnaires with individuals who work in community outreach or peer health education organizations for COVID-19 health services.

We are seeking to learn how we can help families prepare for future transition to adult healthcare and what may impact readiness for the transition.

We are conducting a research study to determine whether the virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) is present and viable in indoor air at a distance greater than 6 feet from people with active infections. To accomplish this, the research team will collect air samples with multiple sampling devices over a 4-5 hour period in the living environments of people with known SARS-CoV-2 infections. Sites include residence halls and homes (i.e., main living area) of people with active infections who are quarantining alone.

Using study data, we will assess associations between health information exposure and engagement in preventive behaviors. Using data collected at multiple timepoints, we will further determine whether changes in exposure to different types of information over time affect participant's participation in COVID-19 vaccination, as well as potential factors (ex. beliefs about COVID-19, participation in other preventive behaviors, intent to get a COVID-19 vaccination) that mediate this association. Findings from the proposed study will inform emerging literature on exposure to and effects of exposure to health (mis)information, as well as ongoing research seeking to aid in slowing the spread of COVID-19.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to delineate the scope of challenges to the primary care workforce due to Covid-19 induced changes in primary care and identify key deficits and promising approaches to handling these challenges.

In this research study we want to learn more about COVID-19, including how the immune systems of children and young adults work to prevent COVID-19 and to help them recover from it.

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and impact of a partnership between Good Bowls and local restaurants currently out of work (or working less) due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
