Studies
6.) Children 8 to 13 years needed for anxiety and worry study
Life Sciences Building, Room 363
IRB #13.0923 Are you stressed? Is your child stressed, anxious or worried? We can help! The UofL Developmental Psychopathology Lab is conducting a study examining the nature of worry and anxiety in parents and children. Parents and their children between the ages of 8 and 13 years are eligible to participate. Participants will be compensated $20 for their time and receive free diagnostic interviews, detailed feedback and a report outlining the results of our assessment.
Additional Information: 852-2351, email.
7.) Research study for women who have experienced recent miscarriage, stillbirth or newborn death
IRB#14.1176 We have developed a clinical survey which may help doctors and nurses better identify parents who need additional follow-up for intense grief after miscarriage, stillbirth, or newborn death. This study will simplify its scoring system so it can be widely used. We are looking for participants who are women over age 18 and have had a pregnancy loss in the last 8 weeks. Research involves taking 2 surveys now and again in 3 months; takes 15-20 minutes to complete.
Additional Information: Marianne H. Hutti, 852-6458.
