Study Recruitment

Developmental Screening: Sickle Cell Disease

We are studying children 0-3 years old to identify the rate of developmental delay among young children with sickle cell disease to increase screening and referral to therapeutic intervention services. Data will be collected throughout three study visits involving play activities to see how the child is moving and learning and some surveys.

Families will be compensated for their time in the form of gift cards for up to $150 (maximum of three visits). To learn more about this study, please contact Catherine Hoyt, PhD, OTD, OTR/L, FAOTA.

SUPPORT-TBI Study

The Social Health and Participation Laboratory is developing a new program to help people with brain injury improve their relationship with an important supporter and get back to the things that you enjoy doing together. We are looking for adults who have had a traumatic brain injury and an important supporter to complete the program together. This research study involves 12 weekly sessions focused on building strategies to manage life with brain injury. Participants will be asked to complete an interview about their experience with the program. Please contact Curtis Comer at [email protected], or 314-273-3288 for more information.
