Study of PFAS compounds in homes

We are studying chemicals called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in indoor environments such as homes. PFAS are manufactured chemicals used in a variety of consumer products because of their water- and stain-resistant and non-stick properties. Some PFAS compounds are associated with adverse health effects. However, there are few indoor PFAS measurements even though concentrations tend to be higher indoors than outdoors and people spend most of their time indoors. The goals of this study are to measure the levels of different PFAS in homes (specifically in indoor air, house dust, airborne particles, clothing, and on surfaces), to study the chemistry of PFAS indoors, and use what we learn to make better predictions of how people are exposed to PFAS.

Measuring stability, reliability, and robustness of the Lateralized Attention Network Test (LANT) over multiple testing sessions

To determine the effect of multiple testing sessions on the performance in an attention task. The lateralized attentional network test (LANT) measures alerting, orienting, and executive control of attention. Six test sessions will be administered to examine stability, robustness, and reliability of the test. This study will be the first to examine if performance of the three attention networks in both hemispheres changes over time using the LANT. Therefore, the primary goal of this study is to examine the robustness, reliability, and stability of the three attention networks over repeated testing sessions.

Survey of Music Therapists' Knowledge and Attitudes about Copyright Fair Use

Modern research has demonstrated that music can be an effective therapeutic tool. In music therapy, using patient-preferred music yields superior therapeutic results. The rub is patient-preferred music is often copyrighted music. Thus copyright law directly impacts this clinical discipline. Yet music therapists' understanding of copyright law is under-explored. To fill this gap, we propose to survey music therapists about their attitudes toward copyright.
