Welcome to the Tween Health Study!
We are looking for tweens (aged 9 to 12 years old) and one of their parents to participate in an online research study.
The study is being conducted by a research team at innovation Research and Training (iRT), a behavioral science research company in Durham, North Carolina and it is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The goal of this study is to examine how different online resources can help parents talk to their tween (9–12-year-old) children about health, gender, body-image, and relationships.
WHAT WILL PARENT-TWEEN PAIRS BE ASKED TO DO?
- Parents and tweens will separately complete a few online questionnaires.
- Parents will review online resources about tween health.
Participation is voluntary and participants can stop at any time. Responses will be kept confidential.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
- The study will take place over the course of 6 weeks. The study could take up to 4 hours for parents that participate and up to 2 hours for tweens that participate.
WHAT WILL PARENT-TWEEN PAIRS GET FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE STUDY?
- Parent-tween pairs will receive Amazon gift cards for completing study activities (up to a total of $115 worth).
What Makes a Parent-Tween Pair Eligible to Participate in This Study?
Any legal guardian may be eligible to participate, including parents, grandparents, step-parents, and other caregivers.
