ILIADD Study

STUDY BASICS

Are you between 18-50 years old? You may be eligible for a research study to learn more about mental health, changes in emotions, behaviors, and social interactions. Compensation is provided.

STUDY PURPOSE

The purpose of this research is to better understand the types of experiences people encounter in daily life and how they respond to those experiences. We are interested in gaining a better understanding of the types of interactions people have in their social, work, and home lives. The study is designed to learn more about mental health, changes in emotions, behaviors, and social interactions. Understanding how we respond to different social situations and stressors may contribute to a greater understanding of how our personalities protect us and put us at risk for developing certain types of psychological problems. The hope is that this work will contribute to the development of better assessment approaches and treatment strategies for those who experience psychological distress.
