In North Carolina's Triangle Area, the Islamic council of imams has cancelled congregational prayer and advised people to worship at home. In Senegal where 94 percent of the population is Muslim, the presidential decree prohibiting all public gatherings - including the Friday prayer - was initially met with ambivalence among some. In Kenya, the imposition of a country wide mandatory curfew starting from 7PM to 5AM, a government recommendation of at least 3 meters social distancing, and a shut-down and restriction of movement in the Nairobi metropolitan area and the Muslim majority counties of Mombasa, Kwale, and Kilift imply that the Muslim congregational and Friday prayer cannot be performed. Using online questionnaires and other digital research methods, this study examines how Muslims in North Carolina's Triangle area, Senegal, and Kenya have negotiated adjustments to their religious routines in order to accommodate urgent COVID-19 public health policies without fundamentally comprising their
The purpose of this study is to assess caregiver perspectives to inform a mindfulness-based intervention for promoting information uptake in caregivers for people with aphasia.

The research project will also investigate how different manifestations of patriotism among organizers align with and potentially shift the organizing strategy within social movement organizations. I will explore (1) how tensions between Blackness, sexuality, and nation manifest in patriotic ideological development; and (2) whether these patriotic ideologies affect their visions (and praxis) for social change.
The purpose of this study is to determine how cognition impacts motor function. We believe that understanding how the cognitive and motor system interact is important, especially for people recovering from stroke where performing movement is often difficult.
The purpose of this study is to develop a useful computer model that can be used by doctors to diagnose and determine the best medical treatment plan for children diagnosed or suspected to have subglottic stenosis (SGS). SGS can be either congenital (present at birth) or acquired (the result of trauma or infection). Premature infants who require long-term breathing support are at increased risk of developing SGS.
We are studying the types of annotations that analysts make when transcribing conversations, what information is included in the annotations, and why the annotations are being made.
The expected outcome of this proposal is a novel care pathway delivered by pharmacists to improve side effects during oral chemotherapy for patients, a known barrier to adherence, and ultimately to prevent progression and early mortality. Our long-term goal for P3OC is to develop and test new dashboard features to optimize pharmacy care and meet future needs for value-based payment models
In this study we will measure medical mistrust among surrogate decision makers of intensive care unit patients that are unable to make their own decisions because they are too sick. We will then monitor various outcomes using the electronic medical record to make associations between surrogate medical mistrust and patient goals of care. We suspect that more mistrustful surrogate decision makers will require more time to make end of life decisions in the intensive care unit.
The primary objective of the current study is to assess cancer patient perceived barriers to adherence to oral cancer medications.
