Parents and Teens Needed for Research ($350 total compensation)
Description
We are seeking participants for research in parenting, brain development, and risk for anxiety and depression in youth!
You may be eligible for this study if you:
-Have experienced, or suspect you have experienced depression or anxiety in your past.
-Have a female child aged 12 to 17 who has never been diagnosed with depression or anxiety.
-Live in the Calgary area and are able to commute to the Foothills Medical Centre
After we have determined your eligibility, you would be asked to complete different assessments at a time convenient for you, including:
-Telephone, online and in-person questionnaires.
-Your child would be asked to have non-harmful and non-painful pictures of their brain taken (EEG, fMRI).
-Interaction tasks to observe how parents and children perform together to achieve goals.
We will contact you again in 9 months to ask you to participate in the follow-up portion of our study. This will entail phone interviews with you and your child. In 18 months we will contact you to participate in everything with us again. You do not have to participate in follow-ups if you don't want to.
To thank you for your valuable participation, your family will receive $200, and your child will receive $100 as well as $50 on their birthday. You will each receive a $25 gift card for the 9-month phone interview. This will happen each time your family participates in the study.
