The information below concerns a research study conducted at Northwestern University:
ADAPT is a place for young people worried about recent changes in their thoughts, perceptions, and feelings. Eligible participants are ages 12-34.
The purpose of this research study is to better understand how
functioning in different areas are influenced in people that experience
one or more of the following symptoms:
-Unusual thoughts
-Suspiciousness or paranoia
-A sense of having special powers or unrealistic plans for the
future
-Unusual experiences with seeing or hearing things that are not
there.
All assessments are provided at no cost. An initial screening will
compensate participants $30 - $40 for one 1 hour and 30 minutes
long interview (if you are under 18, your parent will receive the same
amount for their time). Then, if ADAPT is found to be a good fit for
you, you will be invited to participate in a compensated 1-year
longitudinal study. Professional recommendations and treatment
referrals will be provided.
