ECU LGBTQ Health Promotion Team 2016 North Carolina Pride Festival Survey
(2019-04-08)
"BACKGROUND/PURPOSE This survey gathers data to inform our understanding of workplace discrimination, substance abuse, and health, in relation to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender identity. DESCRIPTION OF PARTICIPANTS Adults attending NC Pride 2016 (a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community festival open to the public on Duke University's campus on September 24, 2016) in Durham, NC. RESEARCH METHODS We used iPads to conduct an anonymous survey using convenience sampling with participants at the NC Pride Parade and Festival. The survey took place at the festival portion, which has a sound stage, food vendors, and booths from corporations, businesses, and community organizations. The surveyors requested participation from adults who were walking by the survey team tent, which was rented from NC Pride. Surveyors stayed by the tent and were always in the presence of a faculty member and other surveyors while conducting surveys at the tent. Training with the survey team was conducted about protocols, informed consent, and how to handle refusals the week prior to survey implementation."

Building support for a tobacco-free campus policy in Eastern North Carolina
(2019-05-13)
The NC General Assembly historically limited the powers of the public University of North Carolina System and its 16 constituent universities to regulate tobacco products on campus. Campuses could not meaningfully regulate smoking until January 1, 2008, when NCGA SL 2007-114 provided UNC campuses the ability to adopt tobacco-free policies to 100 linear feet of all buildings. At that time, ECU‚Äôs Director of Public Safety, Bill Koch, led an effort in collaboration with ECU Human Resources to adopt a stronger policy. This effort resulted in a smoke-free health sciences campus and a 25-foot smoke-free perimeter policy on the rest of campus. This policy remained in effect from August 14, 2008, to June 30, 2019. Documented in this Dataverse are efforts funded by the American Cancer Society on ECU's campus from a Tobacco-Free Generation Campus Initiative Grant to ECU (PI: Joseph Lee) that resulted in a new regulation on use of tobacco products on campus.
