Participate

We are always looking for volunteers to participate in our studies. 

We are currently recruiting for the Rise And Thrive Study and Cedars & West Side Chi

We are a health research team and follow strict protocols to protect the identity and information of all  participants. If you have any questions or concerns about the studies, please contact us. You can also use this link to stay updated for future opportunities.

Ongoing Studies

We seek to engage in research that uncovers the influence of adversity and structural influences, like racism on adolescent health. We seek to illuminate the public and social policies that disproportionately impact children and families of color to bring about societal change. Simply, our objective is to make the relationship between hardship and health clear

Rise & Thrive Study

This study will explore how community engagement and/or life skills development may impact mental and physical health.

Cedars, South & West Side Chi

We want teenagers all over Chicago to be able to engage in tools that are thought to reduce stress and help them cope with challenging experiences.
