research study

some information about our current research study in the event that you might be able to pass it along to any clients of yours who could be interested in participating. We are currently recruiting youth between the ages of 12 and 18 with a diagnosis of ASD and who have experienced suicidal ideation in the past year. Participation would include one baseline visit and 4 weekly research visits where they would answer some questions about their mood and suicidal ideation and we would look at their brain activity with MRI. We would also have them complete a short diary for 30 days to see how mood and suicidality might be fluctuating over the month. The research poster is attached, if you would be willing to share with any families who might be interested!
