Steps to Participate in Research

Step 1

Please review our ongoing research studies (listed below) to determine if you think you or your child may be a good fit.

Step 2

Contact our research coordinator by email (coach@jhmi.edu) or by phone (443-300-8836) indicating that you are interested in participating. If you are under the age of 18, please have a parent or legal guardian contact us on your behalf.

Step 3

We will contact you to set up a time to complete an initial phone visit. This will allow us to learn more about you and/or your child to help us determine if the study will be a good fit. The initial intake phone call may take up to 30 minutes.

Step 4

If we determine that the study is a good fit, you will be invited to visit our lab to take part in the study. The amount of time and number of visits to our lab will depend on the study in which you participate.

We are currently recruiting participants for the following studies:

Learning in Youth with and without Misophonia

Mindfulness Based Group Tic Treatment Study

Computer Vision Algorithms for Tic Detection

Virtual Reality Exposures in Youth with and without OCD

Personalized Assessments in Childhood OCD Treatment

Deep Phenotyping of Interoception in Adolescence

FAQs

Can I still participate without a condition?

Yes! Even if you do not have a psychiatric condition, 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.
