STUDY BASICS
Are you a parent of a child 4-17 and interested in behavioral health research studies? You may be eligible for a research registry that hopes to make it easy for busy families to participate in research, by identifying research studies that they may be eligible for and then providing a warm hand-off to studies that are of interest.
STUDY PURPOSE
The CARMA Registry is designed to provide you (or your family) with a warm handoff to research studies you may be eligible for, based on your responses to our questionnaire and your medical records.
