Teen IBS Study

Are you a teen coping with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or a parent of a teen coping with IBS? Carnegie Mellon University is currently recruiting adolescents (ages 12-17) diagnosed with IBS for a study testing whether writing exercises can improve well-being and GI symptoms.

 

The remote study will consist of 3 remote assessments and the completion of short online writing exercises over the course of a month. Teens will be compensated up to $130. Please visit our lab website (https://www.healthandhumanperformancelab.com/teen-ibs-study) or contact the research team directly at ‪(412) 465-0446 or carnegie.writingstudy@gmail.com to see if you or your teen are eligible to participate!
