Thank you for your interest in our research study!
Researchers at McLean Hospital are conducting several studies looking at the link between mood and the brain in female adolescents, ages 14-18. To find out whether this study is a good fit for you and your child, we assess your eligibility in two ways: through this brief online survey and a phone call. This form should take about 5 minutes.
The information you share will be kept confidential within the study's research team and saved electronically through the HIPAA-compliant REDCap server within the Partners network. This form is voluntary and you may refuse to answer any question or stop the survey at any time. If you do not wish to provide any of the requested information via this form, either leave that section blank or feel free to call us at 617-855-4173.
You may be contacted by email or phone by a study researcher to discuss your and your child's experiences and potential eligibility. If you are under 18, we will need verbal consent from a legal guardian before discussing the details of the study. If you have any questions, please contact the study Research Assistant at teenbrain@mclean.harvard.edu or 617-855-4173.
