The purpose of this study is to lay the groundwork for a pragmatic trial and real-world implementation of Mouth Care Without a Battle (MCWB) for assisted living (AL) residents with dementia and their caregivers. The aims are to refine MCWB for AL, and examine research efficacy (working with a research dental hygienist) and real-world efficacy (working with community public health dental hygienists) to train personal care aides in 48 AL communities across North Carolina to provide mouth care.

The purpose of this research study is to test four treatments for chronic low back pain and to determine whether certain treatments may work better for certain participants based on their characteristics (e.g.,

The purpose of this research is to evaluate a new faceted search interface designed to help user in a learning-oriented exploratory search task. The results of this study can provide new design implications for faceted search interfaces to support users' exploration of large information space.

The purpose of this study is to build a database of information and a collection of specimens like blood and skin from patients with hidradenitis suppurativa. This will help us understand hidradenitis suppurativa better and help researchers have access to good information and resources for studies.

Our proposal addresses a critical barrier to progress by building community capacity to serve youth with ASD and understanding the extent to which hypothesized mechanisms may operate in youth with ASD and anxiety.

he purpose of Parents and Infants Inter(X)action Intervention (PIXI) is to study ways of supporting the early development of infants diagnosed with rare neurogenetic disorders in their first year of life. PIXI is funded by the John Merck Fund and is led by RTI International (RTI) in collaboration with researchers at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. The team includes neurodevelopmental psychologists, early interventionists, and experts in neurogenetic conditions (e.g., fragile X syndrome, Angelman syndrome), autism spectrum disorder, and early childhood development. The goal of PIXI is to provide developmental and behavioral support for infants with rare neurogenetic disorders through a two-phase targeted parent-mediated intervention program.

The purpose of this research study is to try and teach a computer program to assess how a dialysis vascular access fistula is maturing, when it could be ready to put needles in, or when it needs to be fixed to allow it to mature better; based on the electronic stethoscope recordings.

We are hoping to evaluate the palliative care education that current fourth year medical students received at UNC as well as their perceived educational needs. Based on these responses, we may further evaluate the current palliative educational experience to determine if any sort of improvements or enhancements are needed.
