REAACH - Parent Focus

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.

STUDY PURPOSE

The purpose of this study is to understand which factors and experiences support or undermine the physical, mental, and behavioral health of youth in our local communities. 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.

Parents who live in the Pittsburgh metro or surrounding/outlying counties and have children who are between 11 and 14 years old.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS CAN EXPECT
