Our team at Kent State University is now recruiting adolescents (ages 13-18) for an online research program that focuses on helping teens to reduce stress, improve health, and achieve a healthy weight. This free program includes 16 live, interactive, online group sessions and teaches teens ways to improve their health through a focus on healthy eating, physical activity, and may include strategies to reduce stress. All sessions will take place over secure videoconferencing software. This study also includes three online assessment periods. There is no cost for participation, and eligible adolescents will receive up to $175 as compensation for participating in this study.
If you are interested in participating or would like more information about our Healthy Eating, Activity, and Reduction of Teen Stress Program (HEARTS), please have a parent/caregiver call us at (330) 672-2231 or email us at teenprojecthearts@gmail.com. A member of our research team will provide more information about our project, complete a phone screening with the parent/caregiver to determine if the interested teen is initially eligible to participate, and will answer any questions. We sincerely hope that you will consider participating!
