Is your teen very NERVOUS, ANXIOUS, or SAD?
Does your teen seem AFRAID, WORRIED, or DEPRESSED?
Our research study may be able to HELP.
We are inviting families with an adolescent (12-18 years old), whose worry, stress, or sadness makes life harder for them, to participate in COMET (Community Study of Outcome Monitoring for Emotional Disorders in Teens).
COMET is a research study taking place in CT, MA, and FL community clinics that evaluates treatments for teens with anxiety and depression.
What is involved in participating in COMET?
- Meet with study staff for a free evaluation to see if this study is right for you.
- If eligible, meet with your community clinician for 16 weeks.
- Clinics are located in the following towns: Bridgeport, CT; Bristol, CT; Danbury, CT; East Hartford, CT; Fairfield, CT; Meriden, CT; New Britain, CT; Waterbury, CT; Springfield, MA.
- There is no medication involved in this study.
- Your child will receive one of three types of a talk therapy.
- Meet with study staff 3 more times during and after the intervention so we can see if your child’s anxiety or depression has improved.
- Families may earn up to $220 in gift cards for participating.
