STUDY PARTICIPATION OPPORTUNITIES

The following MARC studies are currently enrolling participants from the community:

Parents needed for online research study

If you are a parent of a child between the ages of 6-18, you can help scientists at OHSU with important research looking at how different prenatal environments affect children’s development, behavior and mental health. Please help with our research by completing a short 15-25 minute survey that involves answering questions about your child’s history and current behavior. Biological, foster, and Adoptive parents are all welcome to take our survey! Parents who have children who WERE and WERE NOT exposed to recreational drugs during pregnancy are needed. To participate, visit the online survey. For more details, please contact Brian Piper, Ph.D. at study4parents@ohsu.edu.
