Please fill out this form if you are interested in participating in one of our current studies (BASS, PATH) or future child development studies.

We conduct studies with children between the ages of 0 and 10 years, and we will be in touch with you when we have a study that matches your child’s age range. Thank you so much!

More information about the BASS and PATH studies:

Behavior and Sleep Screening (BASS):

Age: 2- and 3-year-olds

At the end of the study, you will receive $10 and may qualify for and be invited to participate in a larger study on children’s sleep and behavior, PATH.

Length: 30 minutes (over the phone)

Parents Advancing Toddler Health (PATH):

Over the course of a year, parents would participate in weekly video calls for the parent coaching program for two months, plus four research video calls.  

Length: Weekly parent coaching program video calls for two months, plus four research video calls.
