Clinical Research Study Opportunity

Posted April 18, 2011

Are You a MOTHER with Both a Child and a Dog?

You may be eligible for a research study being conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital to learn more about the relationship between people, their pets and their children.

We are seeking women between 22-45 years old who have at least one dog and a child to receive:

• A home visit (approx. 2 hours) where we will ask you to fill out questionnaires and photograph your dog and child.

• A 1 hour fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) brain scan at our imaging center.

Participants will receive $25.00 for the home visit and $60.00 plus a parking voucher for the imaging session.

For more information, please contact Lori Palley, D.V.M. @ 617-963-9315 or click HERE to email Lori.
