What is mental health research?
Research helps us better understand what can contribute to mental health concerns in children and teens, and how to help. But, there is still a lot to be learned and we need volunteers like you to help. In our program, there are many different kinds of research studies: some help develop new treatments, some evaluate what can make someone more likely to develop a mental health concern, and others examine how the brain works.
Who can participate?
If you or a family member are 18 years old or younger, you are eligible to participate in Mental Health Research 4 Kids.
Will participation affect my care?
Participation in the Research Registry is completely voluntary and will not impact the care you receive.
