Executive Functioning in Adolescents with Eating Disorders

We are looking for adolescents who have a current diagnosis of anorexia nervosa or other specified feeding and eating disorder and one parent to participate in a study to help us understand higher order thinking differences in teens with eating disorders. We are also looking for adolescents who do not have an eating disorder. The purpose of this study is to look for associations between higher order thinking and eating disorders. These findings may help us understand the impact of eating disorders on thinking skills.

Living with Diabetes: Challenges for Black Teens

This study wants to know about the problems that Black or African American teenagers with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their families face. It also wants to see how these problems affect their feelings, behavior, and how they get along with others. The study will find out how well they can handle T1D and adapt to it. It will also learn how good things like being strong, family, and where they live might help young people who have to deal with hard things. This includes how well they handle their feelings, behavior, relationships, and T1D care.

Ready to CONNECT: Conversation and Language in Teens

Conversations are important for getting along in everyday life, but we don't really know what makes them successful. This study aims to find out what factors help make conversations better. By looking at different talking styles and techniques, we want to learn how to have more effective and enjoyable conversations. We are seeking volunteers between 12-15 years old both with and without autism and their families to partner with us.
