Have you or your child’s other parent ever been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder or mania?
Or, do you and your child’s other parent have no history of depression or mania?
If so, we would welcome your participation in our research study at the Massachusetts General Hospital, funded by the National Institutes of Health. We are looking at whether childhood temperamental characteristics can predict later behavior. We are interested in making sure that we have balanced representation of African American, Asian American and Latino families in our sample, so that our findings may help us to learn about the community at large.
The study offers:
- Yearly screenings of your child’s behavior at no cost
- A detailed behavioral and cognitive evaluation of your child at 6 years of age
- Monetary compensation for you or your child for each assessment
