Empowered Voices - Parent of a youth 12-17

STUDY BASICS

Do you have a child who is Black, Latiné, or Middle Eastern/North African and between the ages of 12-17? If they’re involved in civic action (e.g., community engagement, political involvement, activism, or advocacy of any kind), they may be eligible to participate in a research study to better understand how young people participate in their community. Compensation is provided.

STUDY PURPOSE

The purpose of this research study is to better understand how young people think about civic action—things like standing up for beliefs, helping community, or getting involved in causes they care about—and how those experiences affect mental health and emotional well-being.
