Scholars have long noted that people who hold political office can employ several strategies to best represent their constituents and advance their re-election goals. These include descriptive representation, substantive representation, symbolic representation, allocation, and constituency service. While these strategies are not mutually exclusive representative generally need to focus on some more than others. This study aims to illuminate which forms of representation are most valuable to certain people contingent on their race, political opinions, and psychological traits.

The purpose of our study is to understand how early life experiences can affect brain development in children.

The goal of this research study is to learn more about how people process stress and how stressful experiences affect health. This information will be used to develop a questionnaire that will help us understand the relationship between identity and health.

The aim of this study is to determine the outcomes of a new mindfulness and self-compassion program designed specifically for college students.

The purpose of the study is to collect blood from asymptomatic individuals to screen for antibodies for SARS-CoV2 , which is the virus that causes the COVID-19 illness. We would like to see how many people may have been exposed to the virus but who do not have symptoms of the illness. If there are enough tests available, we may ask you to allow us to also do a nasal or oral swab to test for COVID-19. This study is being done at the following clinics: UNC Family Medicine Center (Chapel Hill), UNC Family Medicine (Wakefield), UNC Women's Health at Eden, UNC Family Medicine Southpoint, UNC Internal Medicine Goldsboro, UNC Family Medicine Airport Road (Kinston), North Chatham Pediatrics and Internal Medicine, UNC Specialty Care Sanford, UNC Family Medicine- Mebane, and UNC Family Medicine- Clayton. Ask your provider about participating or contact Martha Almond (information below)

We want to learn more about the usability and elements of a university website by asking people located on UNC's campus to participate in a short survey. The results will be used to improve the university website.

A UNC research team has developed a new online resource to help schools, healthcare providers, and families support childhood cancer patients who are returning to school.

The P3 Study is also known as the Path to Prevent Preterm Birth Study. This study collects detailed data and biologic samples. It will help researchers to understand why some women have more than one preterm birth. For example, information from this study may help doctors know which medications or medical care will work best to help women deliver full term. We hope that this research will help improve outcomes for moms and babies in North Carolina and beyond! We are including women who have had a previous preterm birth. We are also asking some women who have delivered only full term babies to participate.
