HARP Foundations
We are looking for African American families with children
ages 10-13 to join the HARP-Foundations research study.
What is the study about?
HARP-Foundations is a research study designed to understand how stress affects African American youth and their families and to see if participating in a family-centered prevention program can result in better health and well-being.
Families will be compensated up to $850 for completing all parts of the study.
What are you asking me to do?
Help us understand how stress affects young people’s development and health.
We will:
- ask youth to participate in an fMRI scan that takes pictures of the brain
(see this MRI video to learn more about the process) - take samples of blood from the youth;
- ask parents and youth to complete surveys about their life and relationships.
This will happen through visits at 3 different times over 2.5 years at the University of Georgia.
What’s in it for me?
You will earn up to $550 for the child and $300 for the parent or caregiver, not to mention that you are helping build knowledge about how stress affects African American families.
Who is eligible?
African American families with children between the ages of 10 and 13 who can travel to UGA for research visits. If you are eligible, we will send you more information and then later follow up to explain everything in more detail, answer questions and enroll you and your child in the study if you’re still interested.
Ok, I’m interested, what’s next?
To find out if you’re eligible, complete the survey. You won’t be signing up for anything at this time.
