Federal Recognition and Health Outcomes for The Lumbee Tribe

This study will look at the current health statuses of members of the Lumbee tribe. Health statuses of other tribes who have federal recognition will be put together in order to compare them to those of the Lumbee. This study hopes to see what exactly federal recognition could potentially do for the Lumbee tribe when it comes to health if they were to receive it.

Novel Textile Based Sensors for inner Prosthetic Socket Environment Monitoring

Amputation is one of the major causes of disability. Sockets are the important prosthesis components and physical interface to integrate the prosthetic limbs mechanically with the amputee's residual limb to replace lost function. Objective monitoring of the inner socket environment (i.e. pressure, temperature, and humidity) and residual muscle activity during daily prosthesis use requires flexible, unobtrusive and multi-modal sensors that can be integrated into the socket structure without causing subject discomfort. The lack of such an inner-socket sensor technology has been a long-standing problem for evaluating the prosthesis socket, preventing the complications elicited by poor socket design and fit, and advancing the socket technologies. Therefore, advanced socket technologies are urgently needed and will be developed under this project to significantly reduce the number of clinic visits, lower the healthcare costs for amputees, and ultimately improve their quality of life.

School Disciplinary and Mental Health Practices and Suicide

Because Black youth are dying by suicide at an alarming rate, this study addresses the interplay of how two dimensions of inequality impact suicide: 1. school-based mental health services and referrals; and 2. aggressive school disciplinary practices. Mental health symptoms in Black individuals may be "masked" as aggression and misinterpreted by school professionals as behavioral problems, reinforcing harsh disciplinary practices disproportionate in Black youth. Improved understanding of how these two dimensions influence suicide will inform upstream approaches to suicide prevention delivered in school settings and contribute to a sizeable gap in the literature in support of preventing Black youth from dying of suicide. We will collect a disparate set of data sets to describe the prevalence of these issues and conduct analyses that explore the relationship between disciplinary actions and mental health access with suicide. We will also interview school-based professional and administrators to understand their roles and understandings
