Heels 2 Participation (H2P) Interviews

Researchers will conduct interviews with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID) and their care partners who have participated in HEELS 2 Transition programming (UNC HEELS Prep, Up, or Week Away) to understand which instructional topics, tools, and technology they prefer and find most useful. This information will be used to build e-learning tools.

Understanding Target Variable Selection in Machine Learning Model Development

Predictive modeling has recently attracted a lot of attention from organizations trying to leverage AI and big data to improve their work processes such as decision-making. However, real-world problems are rarely well-formulated machine learning problems. Practitioners have to supply a well-defined predictive target to operationalize a predictive model. In such cases, they often resort to using observed variables to approximate the actual construct of interest. For example, people have used high sales numbers as a proxy for a good employee. Proxy label selection is a recurring challenge when predictive ML is applied to real-world problems. The purpose of this interview study is to understand how ML practitioners select proxy labels, evaluate proxy labels, and iterate through the different tasks involved.

Pain Management in Presence of Nerve Blocks

The purpose of the study is to investigate nurses' perceptions of pain management and opioid use in patients who have received nerve blocks. This research aims to explore various aspects related to the utilization of nerve blocks in pain management protocols and the potential implications for opioid prescribing practices. Specifically, the study seeks to: Assess the adequacy of pain management in patients who receive nerve blocks, as perceived by frontline healthcare providers. Evaluate nurses' perceptions of the effectiveness of nerve blocks in providing targeted pain relief compared to traditional opioid-based analgesia. Investigate nurses' attitudes towards opioid sparing strategies and whether they believe patients who have received nerve blocks require fewer opioids for pain management. Examine nurses' experiences with and attitudes towards training in pain management, particularly in the context of nerve blocks, to identify potential areas for improvement in professional development. Explore the integration of evidence-based practices into clinical care and the extent to which nerve
