Survey of Clinician Understanding of Susceptible Dose-Dependent Interpretations and Prescribing for VRE Infections

The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute recently updated the MIC breakpoints of daptomycin for E.faecalis and E.faecium, including a new "susceptible-dose dependent" category where isolate susceptibility is contingent on the dose of daptomycin. The effectiveness of the new SDD category in directing clinicians to use higher-dose daptomycin strategies has not yet been evaluated. It is possible that the unfamiliar SDD category prompts clinicians to avoid daptomycin altogether. This study seeks to evaluate how "SDD" has been interpreted at the University of North Carolina Medical Center (UNCMC) and whether clinicians select therapy differently when microbiologic susceptibility is reported as "S" or susceptible or "SDD" or susceptible dose-dependent.

Abolition and Public Library Safety

The purpose of this research study is to determine non-carceral skills and tools that abolitionist library staff might use to harmful actions in public libraries and to identify barriers that staff may face in successfully using those tools. In order to identify these skills, tools, and barriers, we are conducting exploratory interviews with public library staff who reside in the United States, identify as abolitionists (or practice abolition), and have experience working directly with patrons.

North Carolina Free/Reduced Price Meal Provisions In Response to COVID-19 School Closures

I will be using a comparative case study of four North Carolina school districts with the lowest and highest resources to analyze the differences in schools' responses to free/reduced-price meal distribution during COVID-19 school closures. I am conducting this study because it will allow us to see how school districts across North Carolina operate differently in regards to meal distribution when kids are not in school, and I will be able to analyze how nutrition, academics, and personal wellbeing are impacted across various school districts.

Trauma-Informed Care Undergraduate Medical Education Competency Set Validation

We are working with three other study sites (Harvard Medical School, University of California Davis, and University of Oklahoma Tulsa) to assemble experts on the teaching of trauma-informed care (TIC) to undergraduate medical students. These experts (including community members, medical educators, TIC specialists, and medical students) will indicate what skills they think are necessary for medical students to practice TIC. This list of competencies will ensure the next generation of physicians are optimally prepared to treat victims of traumatic events.
