STUDY BASICS

Are you a parent of a child or adolescent (ages 11-14) living in the Pittsburgh Metro or surrounding counties? You may be eligible for a research study to understand which factors and experiences support or undermine the physical, mental, and behavioral health of youth in our local communities. If you agree to participate in this study, you will join other parents for a group interview.

We intend to use this information to inform the development of prevention and intervention efforts that improve the health of children. Our goal is to advance knowledge of how best to promote youth well-being.
