Participate in a Study

We're looking for Canadian parents and adolescents to participate in a study on text message communication being done by researchers at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

You may be eligible for the study if you:

• Are a parent or guardian of a young person aged 13-18 living in Canada

• Communicate with each other in English by text message

Your role will include:

1. You and your child meet with a research assistant virtually

2. Fill out online surveys and securely send in the text messages between you and your adolescent

3. Complete 4 short, monthly surveys

4. Fill out surveys 5 months later and securely send in parent-adolescent texts over the past 5 months

Data will be analyzed anonymously.

Compensation is provided for parents and adolescents. Adolescents can receive community service volunteer hours.

If you’re interested in participating, please contact our team at CRAFT@camh.ca
