We're looking to improve food allergy education for teens and young adults. In this study, we want to help you independently manage your food allergies as an adult, whether in college or the workplace. We will review topics ranging from managing your own allergic reactions, to dealing with dining halls and dating with food allergies. As a participant in the study, you would complete two online surveys and an online educational visit.
The purpose of this study is to explore Black parents' or caregivers' ethnic racial socialization practices among their Black children with a diagnosed disability. Specifically, we are interested in understanding how parents/caregivers prepare their child for racial and/or ableist biases, instill ethnic/racial pride, and promote mistrust of other racial/ethnic groups, typically members from the dominant group. We are also interested in learning more about how these practices may impact children's mental health and academic engagement outcomes.
The purpose of this research study is to better understand what contributes to mental health symptoms (e.g., anxiety, depression) during pregnancy and postpartum. We are also interested in your opinions on using smartphone-based surveys to track mental health and well-being during the perinatal period.
The purpose of this research study is to understand how people navigating the perinatal period feel about using a smartphone to assess their mental health. This study will help us learn if people are interested in a digital mental health assessment during pregnancy and postpartum. It will also help us to learn how users would like these apps to be designed.
Are you the parent of a child with extreme picky eating or avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID)? Are you an adult (18+) who has ARFID?

The goal of this study is to learn more about germs that can make a lot of people sick by saving samples we collect in the study. One germ we are studying is called enterovirus D68. We are also studying if we can repeat this study for other germs.
The purpose of this research study is to explore key periods of family life over time among adults who have experience parenting at least one child from birth to young adulthood. Study findings could help inform the development of programs and services that are intended to benefit children and families.
Being able to understand and measure communication development in young children is critical. Our team is adapting a tool to measure communication in young children with autism. If you have a young child (under 5 years old) with a diagnosis or suspected diagnosis of autism, you may be able to participate in this study. Compensation provided.
In this study, we want to learn about how a mother's experiences of social stress, such as discrimination, may affect the health of a mother and her young child. We also want to learn if the social support that mothers receive helps protect her children's immune and emotional health. Another question we are asking in this study is if there are some immune genes that turn on or off in young children. We want to learn what environmental influences may trigger these changes. We hope this information will give us more information about how to support the well-being of mothers and their young children.
Does your child have hearing loss in one ear, or single-sided deafness? If they are under the age of 3, they may be able to receive a cochlear implant as part of a research study to find out if early implantation helps children with single-sided deafness. If they are five, they may be able to help us study differences between children who receive a cochlear implant when they are little, children who do not receive a cochlear implant, and those with typical hearing.
