  • Enrolling Participants in Family Emotions Study

    Are you a parent who has experienced something very stressful?

    Parents who have experienced something very stressful and their children (9-12 years old) are invited to participate in the Parent and Child Emotions Study (PACES). This research study is designed to help us learn more about how children manage their emotions. We also hope to learn new ways for parents to help their children learn these skills. This can be especially important for families who have experienced stress.

    What is involved?

    • Participation takes place remotely from your home: Adults complete an on-line survey about stressful events that have occurred in your and your child’s life, your emotions, and how you cope with them. Kids answer questions about their emotions during an on-line video chat with a member of the study staff.
    • Your family will receive $50 in gift cards for completing the study.
