Description

Do you have a child who is male and 14-17 years old? Has your child recently been experiencing sad or irritable moods or lost interest in his activities?  If so, your child may be eligible to participate in a study of the biological link between stress and depression in teenagers. The study takes place in the Psychology Department at Stanford University. We are examining biological factors that measure stress in the body and brain and see how they relate to changes in mood symptoms over time in depressed teenagers. If your child is eligible, he will have the opportunity to visit Stanford University and participate in interviews, complete questionnaires, do some computer activities, and have scans taken of his brain. Participants will receive a picture of their brain as a souvenir!Eligible participants will receive $20/hour for their time, and up to $60 for completion of all follow-ups. We will schedule the visits around your availability (daytime, evenings, and weekends are all fine).
