PEACHY Study Pilot - Parent of a child 4-6
STUDY BASICS
Are you the birth mother of a 4- to 6-year-old child? You and your child may be eligible to participant in a pilot study for a larger, federally funded research study aimed at how being your child’s emotion or behavior coach may be related to how children process rewarding experiences in the brain. Compensation is provided.
STUDY PURPOSE
This research study is using electroencephalogram (EEG) to help us understand how being your child’s emotion or behavior coach can help them process emotions in their brain. We are also interested in how this may be especially helpful for children with a family history of mood problems, like depression.
