Improving Physical Activity and Balance after Total Knee Replacement

The purpose of this research study is to compare how well two types of physical therapy (PT) programs work for people who have recently had total knee replacement (TKR). One program is typical postoperative PT. The other program is typical postoperative PT with additional balance training and physical activity coaching. By doing this study, we hope to provide people who have TKR in the future, as well as their health care providers, with information that will help people following TKR to increase their physical activity and improve their walking mechanics after TKR.

"Does the way that information is presented to people affect how they learn about genetics and if they want to be in research studies?"

We are recruiting 216 people at events in the community to look at different types of educational materials about genomics. We will survey them before and after to see if and how their knowledge and willingness to participate in research was affected. Then, we will ask 30 of those people to participate in a 45-60 minute interview over Zoom. This will help us to gather more information about their preferences and attitudes toward genomic research. We will be recruiting from a diverse group of people and offering materials in both English and Spanish. The purpose of this is to improve health literacy and willingness of participate in genomic research in order to improve health equity.

Activating the archive: Understanding research behaviors related to the Greensboro Massacre

This research will examine the variable ways that people have used and interpreted collections related to the Greensboro Massacre in Wilson Library, and how they conceptualize their research in relation to memory, history, and justice. This project will involve semi-structured interviews with five to eight researchers, working to understand how the interviewees interpret and disseminate their findings from the archive. Afterwards, I will compare interview responses, in order to trace common and divergent themes. I will interview both academic researchers, as well as community historians and activists.
