Trichotillomania: Online Research Study for Parent-Child Pairs
The project (IRB #16088) is recruiting parent-child pairs in which the child has trichotillomania, or hair-pulling disorder, for a study examining family treatment experiences, perceptions, and barriers. Right now, we are interested in recruiting participants who meet the following eligibility criteria:
-
Children aged 11-17
-
Children with past or current trichotillomania symptoms, but do not need an official diagnosis
-
Parent and child must live in the USA
-
Parent and child are fluent in English and have capacity to answer study questions
-
Parent and child have access to the internet
-
Parent and child must be able and willing to participate in a 1.5 hour Zoom session
-
Parent must be able to articulate reasons for their interest in the study
Participation will involve completing a brief screening questionnaire and both parent and child completing guided surveys during a Zoom video call with a research assistant. Participation should take approximately 1.5 hours total to complete. Each pair will receive a $40 Amazon e-gift card for completing the study.
