The purpose of this study is to determine whether inactive adults are able to walk at a moderate pace (100 steps per minute) for 10 minutes when walking on a treadmill, a sidewalk, and a nature trail, and to learn about adults' feelings and mood when walking at a moderate pace. The purpose of this study is to inform future interventions focused on helping inactive adults increase their physical activity participation in fun and enjoyable ways.
The purpose of this research study is to examine Black women's identity expressions within higher education and how this contributes to their persistence. It further examines how these scholars engage modes of Black finesse to overcome visibility challenges, confront intellectual devaluation, leverage their academic advising relationships, and cultivate joy within these spaces.
The purpose of this study is an initial pilot study to develop the safety, feasibility, and tolerability of a new type of individualized transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to treat antenatal depression, which delivers personalized stimulation waveforms based individual participant EEG activity. In the first Phase of this study, we are investigating this intervention in healthy control participants.

Orientation can happen at home or at our Chapel Hill office. Parents are compensated, and kids receive a special thank-you gift! Help us better understand screen use in children-click to learn more.
Preventing walking disability in our rapidly aging population is an enormous public health challenge. Fundamental to their loss of functional mobility is that the muscles needed to power walking experience decline in function with age. Wearable assistive devices can be designed to augment the function of these muscles and may make walking easier. If you are a healthy older adult, you may be able to participate in a training intervention to determine the feasibility of a passive wearable ankle device that strengthens walking dynamics and decreases fall risk.
