Teen Health and Emotions Study

The UBC Social Health Lab, in collaboration Dr. Jerilynn Prior and the Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation (CeMCOR, www.cemcor.ca) is still inviting young women between the ages of 13-15 years to join this important three year study. This study is funded by the Canadian government (CIHR) to examine if and how sex hormones affect emotions, social behaviours, and mental health throughout the teenage years.

This study asks teenage women to come with one of their parents to 6 lab sessions at UBC across 3 years. (Note that no one will be drawing blood—saliva samples will be used to measure hormone levels). Participating families’ expenses will be compensated by $30.00 for each completed lab session (up to $180 in total).

Young women will learn exciting new things about themselves. Together all teen and parental participants will contribute to understanding how parents and the community can support adolescent women to become healthy and happy young adults
