We are inviting healthy female teens between the ages of 13-15 with a parent who has experienced depression to participate in a research study. Teens can earn up to $594 if they qualify and receive a picture of their brain.
Researchers at McLean Hospital are investigating how stress may influence mood and brain activity. Teens will answer questions about their thoughts and feelings. Teens will also undergo an fMRI brain scan. Teens will also be asked to fill out very brief surveys on their smartphone and to wear a smartwatch that tracks their heart rate, skin conductance, physical activity (i.e., step count), and sleep patterns. Parent permission is required.
If you are interested, please fill out our surveys <a href="https://redcap.link/stressdynamics" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://redcap.link/stressdynamics</a>
