Overview
ARE YOU THE PARENT OF A CHILD 10-14 YEARS OF AGE?
Researchers at Indiana University are inviting children (ages 10-14) and their parents (ages 18+) to take part in a study to learn more about how life experience and stress affect how parents and children think, feel and act.
One child per family will be asked to participate along with their parent.
This study will compare two groups: parents who have had histories of alcohol use problems and parents who have never had any problems with alcohol use.
Study participation involves phone calls via Microsoft Teams, one in-person study visit at Goodman Hall on IUPUI Campus in Indianapolis, IN, and two sets of follow-up questionnaires.
Description
What is Involved if I participate?
1) Parents will complete a brief screening phone call to determine eligibility of them and their child.
2) If both the parent and child are eligible for the study, then they will be invited to attend an in-person study visit (approx 4 hrs) at Goodman Hall on IUPUI campus (326 W 15th St, Indianapolis, IN 46202).
3) After completing the in-person study visit at Goodman Hall, participants will complete follow-up questionnaires online about 6 months after the study visit, and again about 12 months after the study visit.
The study visit will involve the following:
• You and your child will both be asked to answer questions and fill out surveys about things that have happened in your lives and thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
• You and your child will provide urine and saliva samples.
• Your child will do activities while getting a brain scan in the MRI machine
Will I be compensated for participating?
- In return for the time and work you put into the study, you will be paid up to $295.
- Your child may also earn additional payment (up to $14.40) for their performance during two of the MRI activities.
