Do you struggle with ways to feel more relaxed or calm when you are stressed? Do you identify as African American, Black, Hispanic, and/or Latino (a/e/x)?

Did you receive a COVID-19 vaccine during or immediately before pregnancy? You may be able to take part in this study to help us learn more about the developmental outcomes of your child.
We study how the immune system protects against viruses and bacteria without causing excessive harm to organs like the lungs, heart, and kidneys. We need a small amount of blood to study how immune cells ("white blood cells") turn on important proteins when they sense a bacteria or virus nearby.
Have you been infected with COVID-19? Are you a solid organ transplant recipient? Have you or your child received a COVID-19 vaccine or are planning to receive one? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a research study that will assess your immune response to COVID-19 infection or vaccination over a 5 year period. We are looking for children and adults aged 7-95 years, and plan to collect blood every 2-6 months over the study period. (Compensation provided for the first year).
Are you a Black patient who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and seen a doctor at UNC to discuss treatment? Did COVID-19 cause your appointments to be done over the phone instead of in an office? If you discussed your prostate cancer diagnosis virtually or in person, you may be able to participate in a study looking to understand how treatment decisions are made by Black patients with prostate cancer. We want to know how you feel about your experience has been and how it could have been better! Compensation provided.
