We are seeking young people who are concerned about recent changes in mood, thinking or behavior. This research project aims to increase understanding of mental health concerns in young people and how to prevent the development of a more serious mental illness such as psychosis.
You may be eligible for the study if you meet any of the following criteria:
Ages 12 - 30
Noticing a recent change in thinking, behavior, or experiences, such as:
- Confusion about what is real or imaginary
- Feeling not in control of your own thoughts of ideas
- Feeling suspicious or paranoid
- Having experiences that may not be real, such as hearing sounds or seeing things that may not be there
- Having trouble communicating clearly
The study would entail visits over a 2-year period. You would be paid $30 per hour for your participation, and you would have the opportunity to earn over $1,000 over the course of the study. Eligible participants will be asked to come in for various assessments including:
clinical interviews
biological assessments (MRI & EEG brain scans; blood and saliva testing)
cognitive testing
