To gain a comprehensive understanding of the effect of COVID-19 on the safety and mobility of young drivers we are comparing driver licensing data, driver education completion data and crash data for teen drivers in North Carolina from January 1 to June 30, 2020 with historical averages to assess the initial effects of the pandemic on teen drivers. We are also collecting self-report data from parents of teen drivers in North Carolina via online questionnaires and focus groups to learn how COVID-19 has affected their supervised driving experience.
We are conducting a cross sectional study to survey pediatricians and family medicine physicians about their experience delivering primary care visits, and specifically vaccines, to children and adolescent during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of patient's access to physical therapy services and to understand potential barriers to rehabilitation services from both the patient and therapist perspectives.
Public opinion poll in North Carolina on understanding how people's experience with COVID-19 intersects with their work needs and experiences
Due to the changes in educational environments during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the transition to synchronous online learning, an exploratory case study is needed for examining how Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) are documented, as well as analyzing the stakeholders' perceptions of their accuracy. The proposed case study that will be conducted will aim to answer the following questions: Are elementary school staff, such as special education teachers, documenting and assessing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) differently during the COVID-19 pandemic? If so, how, and have these differences made an impact on teachers' perception of the IEP's accuracy?
We are surveying surgeons about their attuitudes towards a potential COVID-19 vaccine
COVID-19 has created workplace changes that have reverberated around almost every conceivable American profession, not excluding positions in archives. This research explores the impact of COVID-19 on small academic archives and the effectiveness of business continuity planning and disaster management in mitigating those effects. Thus, the research questions are as follows: What disaster management strategies have small academic archives employed in response to COVID-19, and what implications do these responses have for future archival disaster management strategies? This study employs a qualitative thematic analysis methodology, whereby liberal arts college archives and special collections (selected from the Oberlin Group of Libraries) answer a survey and participate in a voluntary follow-up interview about their COVID-19 responses. Data gathered from surveys and interviews will be coded to evaluate key themes. This may serve as a starting point for other similar explorations of cultural heritage institutions' disaster management strategies in the wake of COVID-19.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the benefits and limitations of virtual interviewing for OBGYN fellowships.
The goals of this survey are to: 1) identify ways to support the health and well-being of teachers as they navigate teaching and life during this unprecedented 2020-2021 school year, and 2) help identify ways in which teachers or schools may benefit from additional efforts to minimize infection transmission.
I will be using a comparative case study of four North Carolina school districts with the lowest and highest resources to analyze the differences in schools' responses to free/reduced-price meal distribution during COVID-19 school closures. I am conducting this study because it will allow us to see how school districts across North Carolina operate differently in regards to meal distribution when kids are not in school, and I will be able to analyze how nutrition, academics, and personal wellbeing are impacted across various school districts.
