Delirium Tele-medicine Validation Study

We don't know whether discharging patients with active delirium (aka confusion) home is appropriate. Returning patients to their home may lead to improvement and quicker delirium resolution. Alternately, it may be harmful as delirious patients may not be able to appropriately care for themselves in the home environment or follow discharge instructions. Consequently, they may get sicker, requiring hospital readmission or worse. Currently, there is no good way to assess delirium in the home setting. This greatly limits the ability to monitor and study this vulnerable population. The ability to perform in-home delirium assessments will prove invaluable to researchers investigating the a-propriateness of discharging actively delirious patients' home versus keeping them in the hospital until resolution of their delirium. Further, it will provide a method for clinicians to perform quick, remote delirium assessments of their patients.

Symptom Monitoring in Hemodialysis

This study is comparing two approaches for monitoring and addressing symptoms among adult patients with kidney failure who are treated with hemodialysis. For the first approach patients use an electronic system twice a month to report their symptoms. The system sends alerts to their medical team at the dialysis clinic about the reported symptoms and gives suggestions about how to manage them. The system also provides reports that show patients and their medical team the reported symptoms over time. For the second approach patients complete a quality of life questionnaire that includes questions about symptoms once a year. The questionnaire does not have follow-up support like alerts, symptom management guidance, or reports. In addition, researchers will talk to patients, dialysis clinic personnel, and medical providers about their experiences using the electronic symptom monitoring system to learn about how to best use patient-reported outcome measures in dialysis care.

Treatment Use for ACL Injury Study

Compare the use of ACL reconstruction and physical therapy in Black and White people and people with different socioeconomic status after ACL injury. Black people and people with lower socioeconomic status are at higher risk of long-term disability related to arthritis that is common after ACL injury. The above treatments may reduce long-term disability, but use of these treatments may be different across racial and socioeconomic groups. The project will also look at factors related to treatment use in Black people with ACL injury. Identifying these factors will help us figure out how to improve treatment use in Black people, who are often underrepresented in clinical research. *This study is a collaboration with the UNC Sports Medicine Institute*

Testing product messages for Colombia

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of different labels on packaged food and drinks to promote healthy diets in Colombia. In 2016, more than half of Colombian adults were overweight, 22% were obese, and 18% of Colombian youth were overweight. The Colombian government is in the process of implementing warning labels on the front of packages high in added sugar, sodium, and saturated fat to better inform consumers. Research is needed to inform the design of this law.
