To evaluate the impact of a learning module about racism in healthcare.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate research study authors' perspectives on fairness in their author positions relative to their level of contribution to their research work.
The purpose of this study is to assess the extent to which engaging teachers in iterative design processes with scientists increases their content knowledge of and self-efficacy for incorporating current biomedical science into their teaching. This study includes a professional development program with a teacher-driven curriculum development component.
We are surveying Internal Medicine Residents about their knowledge and attitudes regarding open notes for patient documentation. Understanding their knowledge level will allow us to provide education in the future
Although the prevalence of cigarette smoking among US adults is at a historic low, tobacco use disparities persist among priority populations defined by income, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender identity, mental illness and other attributes. Unfortunately, many states and communities are stalled in their efforts to implement traditional tobacco control interventions, such as increasing tobacco taxes and promoting smoke-free policies. Alternatively, more states and communities are planning and implementing innovative solutions that focus on the retail environment for tobacco. Examples of such strategies are non-tax mechanisms to increase prices and restrictions on the quantity, type, and location of tobacco retailers. The proposed national, multi-site ASPiRE Center will advance the scientific basis for such regulation with an integrated and synergistic set of novel research projects that will comprehensively examine the interrelationships among the policy and retail environments and their impacts on tobacco use, tobacco-related cancer and other diseases, and health inequities.
The purpose of this research study is to assess the relative value of digital images versus microscopy for learning blood cell identification.
Cities are hot during daytime in summer time - much hotter than their surrounding vegetated, often forested rural areas. This effect, the Urban Heat Island Effect, is determined by building materials, human activity, and urban vegetation. But how does it affect individual thermal comfort? We are interested in understanding relationships between temperature and thermal comfort in urban areas.
The aim of the study is to evaluate results of patients treated with the STABILISE technique for acute/subacute aortic dissection.
The purpose of this study is to assess new-graduate NICU nurses knowledge, comfort, and moral distress with providing end-of life care, and to assess how didactic education and simulations may affect their experience.
Adolescents with Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI) commonly have difficulties with eating. However, little is known about the degree of eating difficulties or related impact on DGBI symptoms. This study will systematically study Feeding and Eating Disorders in adolescents with DGBI. We will also collect saliva and fecal samples to initiate a biosample repository.
