We will be examining if and how the parent-child self-compassion course impacts well-being and parenting.
This study explores how common the use of Qualitative Data Analysis software (QDAS) is among two kinds of object-based researchers: art historians and archaeologists. Surveys disseminated in a snowball fashion contained open and closed questions, which sought to give participants a platform to describe if, why, and how they use programs like Atlas.ti, NVivo, Dedoose, and MAXQDA throughout their research process. The anonymized responses may help professionals in academic librarianship and visual resources management assess whether their institution should invest in access and instruction surrounding QDAS for patrons in these disciplines.
The purpose of this research study is to understand how experiencing exposure to a suicide attempt or loss in queer youth's social circles affects them. This study will also evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of a visual art-based intervention with queer youth on mental representations about themselves, the world, and the future; suicide-related behaviors and thoughts; post-traumatic maladaptive beliefs; and post-traumatic growth. Approximately 10 participants will create collage self-portraits to represent themselves pre-suicide exposure, post-suicide exposure, and present day. They will also write artist statements about their pieces and discuss individual experiences in a group setting. Quantitative and qualitative data will be analyzed.
To develop an implementation strategy for distribution alongside the hepatitis b birth dose vaccine (Hep B-BD) in the Kinshasa Province, DRC. An implementation strategy may include distribution of all three infant vaccines-- Hep B-BD, OPV0, and BCG-- within 24-hours of delivery, an educational component for mothers, and distribution guidelines for facilities. Focus groups with expectant mothers and key informants, respectively, will guide the development of a more effective and context-specific strategy.
This project brings together labor organizers across sectors to discuss practices, strategies, challenges, and concerns in using digital technologies for base-building, political education, and organizational infrastructure.
K-12 teachers are facing an extraordinarily challenging time as our schools recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. To lend support to teachers in this difficult professional environment, this study aims to discover how archives and special collections can make online materials maximally accessible and useful for K-12 teachers. Using semi-structured interviews with ten K-12 teachers and website usage data from the "On the Books" library guide, this study will gather data about how teachers find, interact with, and teach with the online resources for primary source instruction developed by Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The findings will be considered to make recommendations for some ways that special collections librarians can better serve this group of patrons with online teaching resources.
The purpose of this study would be to establish an LCC training simulation for civilian first responders (i.e., paramedics, search and rescue, etc.).
The purpose of this study is understand what factors and beliefs lead a person to set in when watching a situation. The study will ask participants to read a vignette and then ask a number of questions about their beliefs.
This mixed- methods study examines the impact and cost-effectiveness of a high dosage tutoring model for 4th grade math in a district with a proven track record of success in implementing such a model. High dosage tutoring is defined as frequent (three or more sessions per week), small group (three or four students per tutor) tutoring conducted during the school day by an adult who has been trained to deliver instruction that helps students meet grade level standards. This study will allow local, state, and national practitioners and policymakers to weigh the costs and benefits of two different approaches to delivering tutoring: a whole grade model and a targeted tutoring model.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the impact of the Well-Being Initiative for Woman Faculty of Color (the "Program") on overall well-being, career advancement and professional success. The Program is designed for early and mid-career Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) women faculty at U.S. Schools of Pharmacy and Departments of Pharmacology at research-intensive institutions. The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, in collaboration with Houston Wellness Workshops for Women (H3W), has developed this two-year program to support the well-being and professional advancement of BIPOC women faculty in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences research. Participants in the study will take voluntary surveys during the Program to evaluate three factors: well-being, burnout, and self-efficacy in their professional academic roles before and after completing the Program.
