Current Projects

We specialize in the evaluation and treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults. Our research aims to improve the understanding, assessment, and treatment of young people who experience anorexia, anxiety, OCD, misophonia, trichotillomania (hair-pulling), tics, and related conditions.

If you would like to help us learn more about these conditions, and how best to help patients and families overcome them, please consider participating in one of our on-going research studies.

FAQs

Can I still participate without these conditions?

Yes! Even if you do not have any of these conditions, you can still help us learn more about how best help patients and families overcome them. Scientific research often required what is a called a “control group.” In our research, data that “control” participants contribute help us understand a specific condition better. Participants are compensated for their time!

What is done with my information if I participate?

Any information you share with us will NOT be provided to anyone (including your insurance/ health care provider) without you formally submitting a written request that we do so. We strictly follow the data collection and storage policy as outlined by The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in order to protect your privacy and the confidentiality of the information you provide.

Will I be compensated for my participation?

Yes! Participants receive compensation in the form of gift cards, the value of which is determined by the study they complete.
