The UNC Department of Psychology and Neuroscience is studying women's experiences during the postpartum period. More specifically, we would like to understand women's eating behaviors, mood, relationship, and parenting attitudes during this period. We are also interested in how these experiences compare to women who have never been pregnant.

The purpose of this study is to understand what moms think about all types of birth control, including immediate postpartum Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC), and what they think about planning for pregnancy. This study will help further explain black-white differences in immediate postpartum LARC uptake.

The purpose of this study is to understand provider perceptions of immediate postpartum LARC. This research will help further explain black-white differences in immediate postpartum LARC uptake.

We are looking for families with children between 0-5 years old to help us find out if a new type of MRI sequence can take better pictures of children's brains.

Our study seeks to understand the patient outcomes of individuals struggling with social needs and whom have a diagnosis of a chronic illness.

The purpose of this research study is to learn from YMSM about their perceptions of two phone apps designed to increase HIV testing, PrEP uptake, and other prevention strategies. We also want to learn about whether the apps encourage behavior change, as they are designed to do.

We want to see how different approaches to group mentoring will impact postdoctoral fellows and assistant professors in both their personal and professional lives. This study will include 9 months of group meetings.

Our goal is to develop a better way to analyze communication changes related to stroke, dementia, and brain injury to give healthcare providers better exam and treatment tools.

This study consists of two online surveys and one laboratory visit on the UNC campus. Plus, a subset of participants will be randomized to make small shifts in their daily behaviors for 35 consecutive days and all participants will complete brief nightly surveys during that 35-day phase. Some participants will also watch a short, 10 minute video.

At the UNC At the Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders, our mission is to better understand the causes and consequences of eating disorders in order to develop better treatment options. In pursuit of this mission, we conduct several research studies each year. To conduct these research studies, we need help from volunteers - individuals who want to help us better understand eating disorders. You can help by volunteering to join our research registry. Anyone can join our registry. We welcome volunteers with no history of an eating disorder, as well as volunteers with a current or past history of an eating disorder.
