We plan to interview PA immigrants who have first-hand experience with opioid abuse or who have friends/family/neighbors with opioid abuse experiences. The goal is to highlight areas for improvement, regarding access to treatment and quality of treatment for immigrants. We hypothesize that immigrant status uniquely impacts this group and their rehabilitation journeys, but this has not yet been studied.

There will be one semi-structured, qualitative interview over Zoom, for about 45 minutes. Interviews may be in-person if there is no Zoom access.

In this project, we aim to extend the capabilities of smart-speakers (such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Siri, etc.) to support more engaging interactions with their users. Specifically, we would like to make the future of smart-speakers more conversational. One of the key aspects in developing a conversation is to be an active listener; showing interest in the speaker and allowing them to extend their turn in talk. In this study we investigate how smart-speakers can become better listeners by incorporating some of the human-human conversational features of active listening. Our question is, how can smart-speakers extend the users' turn in talk by being better listeners?

In this study, we hope to better understand the neural mechanisms underlying risk for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in adolescent girls. BPD is a condition that is usually found in adults. However, it may be possible to identify risk for the disorder before adulthood. Understanding who is at risk for BPD early in development is important in order to develop preventative interventions.

Most attempts to quit smoking end in relapse, or a return to regular smoking. One of the biggest threats to cessation is a lapse (i.e., any cigarette use during a quit attempt). Thus, characterizing why lapses occur is essential to understanding and preventing smoking relapse. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a promising method for characterizing the psychological processes that lead to smoking lapses because it provides a way to measures patterns of brain activity thought to reflect relevant mental processes as they change over time. However, methodological issues have hindered the ability to capitalize on this potential and prevented an understanding of how brain activity and corresponding psychological processes unfold in the critical moments that immediately precede a smoking lapse. The proposed project will address this knowledge gap using a novel fMRI paradigm adapted from a well-validated behavioral lapse task. The goals of the project are to characterize changes in brain activity that lead up to a lapse and to investigate how these changes are related to concurrent affect and subsequent cigarette use.

There will be two in-person visits, both will involve completion of computerized questionnaires and one will involve completing and MRI scan

The reproducibility, reliability, and validity of saliva collection techniques is an important issue that needs to be addressed to achieve consistency in the emerging field of mitochondrial psychobiology. The objective of the current study is to increase scientific rigor by utilizing robust and well-controlled methods in the collection and testing of saliva samples. Given the non-invasive and convenient nature of saliva collection, it is likely that research using saliva-derived cell-free mitochondrial DNA (cf-mtDNA) will increase. Therefore, to ensure that the results obtained from the current study are trustworthy and meaningful, we are proposing a small, highly controlled randomized study design that will integrate three methods of saliva collection. The study will adopt a rigorous and systematic approach to data collection, analysis, and interpretation. Through the implementation of these methods, we seek to achieve a higher degree of accuracy and reliability in cf-mtDNA saliva-based measurements.

Each participant will be asked to collect 3 randomized saliva samples (i.e., one static Salivette®, one active Salivette®, and either a second active Salivette® or a passive drool) upon awakening for 10 business days. All collection materials be pre-labeled with the day, type of sample, and order to make it easy for participants to quickly and accurately deposit samples upon awakening. Once saliva samples are collected, participants will be asked to promptly return the samples to the provided plastic bag and store the bag in their at-home freezers. All samples will be stored there until the end of the 10-day study. After the saliva is returned to the freezer, participants will complete a short (3-5 min) morning survey on the provided mobile device which has been pre-loaded with the M2C2 application. The morning survey asks questions about sleep, morning outlook, and anticipatory stress and positive experiences. In the evenings, participants will be prompted (via banner notification on screen and audible beep) to complete a slightly longer (8-10 min) survey. This survey asks questions about the respondent’s daily experiences (stressors, mood, physical symptoms). Within the application, there are three brief, objective cognitive tasks. Upon completion of the 10-day protocol, respondents will return the mobile device and saliva samples. Participants may bring all saliva samples back to the lab during regular business hours, or they may schedule a time for a member of the study team to pick up the samples. Depending on the distance between the laboratory and the participant’s home, the need for ice packs will be assessed on an individual basis.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Asian Americans have faced a rise in overt racism, with thousands of hate incidents reported. This has had a bigger impact on young Asian American adults, leading to emotional distress and health problems. A theory by Harrell suggests that experiencing racial discrimination can harm mental and physical well-being due to stress. Past studies have shown a connection between racial discrimination stress and health issues like obesity and mental disorders. However, there's a need to understand the cultural and emotional factors involved. This research aims to explore how racial discrimination affects Asian Americans' food choices by looking at stress responses and cultural influences. Using surveys, experiments, psychophysiology, and virtual reality, the study will investigate how cultural identity affects stress reactions and subsequent food decisions after racial discrimination experiences.

Hello,We are recruiting Asian Americans with Japanese, Chinese, or Korean heritage for a paid research study.We want to understand how racism affects food choice in a virtual reality (VR) environment. To participate in this study, you will need to complete an informed consent form, and answer questions prior to your arrival at the lab. You will have to come to the lab to watch a video of anti-Asian racism incidents that happened during the COVID-19 pandemic, and answer questions before and after the video.
