Public libraries across the U.S. are seeing the effects of the epidemic. In cities such as Denver, CO and Philadelphia, PA, library and security staff are being trained to administer naloxone at their libraries. We are seeking to understand how the opioid epidemic is affecting public libraries and their staff in North Carolina. We are seeking to extend this study to Delaware, a smaller state in a nearby region, to observe differences and similarities in responses.

The primary objective of the FLP registry/repository is to provide an secure way to store and share the valuable and unique data from the FLP sample of participants with other scientists. These data will contribute to the a large NIH study called the ECHO project and will be used for scientific papers or presentations that examine the role of early environment and early experiences on child development and later outcomes in families living in rural areas. Access to this data will provide the chance to use new methods for data analysis or data processing that can help examine these questions in new and important ways that may inform how policies are made.

Our team developed a calculator to help oncologists better estimate prognosis in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Using this information, our team developed a prognostic calculator to predict risk of death within 30 days for patients with MBC. For this information to impact care, it will have to be used in clinical practice. In order to increase the likelihood of successful adoption of the calculator into clinical practice, we will study its implementation and evaluate its impact. In this study, we will seek the input of doctors, nurses, and advance practice providers who care for patients with MBC to better understand the factors that encourage and dissuade discussion of prognosis and use of such a prognostic tool.
