research participation?

[glascofp]

Dear Colleagues,

I am conducting a standardization and

validation study on a newly developed

developmental/behavioral screening tool for children

between 0 and 2 years of age. I am looking for sites in

North America--Canada and the US. I'd like to work with

health care providers including office staff who are responsible

for developmental screening and surveillance.

Participation involves administering the new

measure to 12 - 25 patients. Each administration takes about

25 minutes. The study pays $20 per completed protocol. The

test involves 15 minutes of direct test administration

during which time parents are asked to complete a

parent-report version of the tool. The remaining 10 minutes

are devoted to parent interview and clinical judgment

items. Sites devoted to assessment of children with

suspected disabilities may also wish to participate in the

validation portion of the study which pays an additional 5$

per subject and involves attaching existing developmental

test scores.

If you are interested in participating, or think

you might be, please let me know and send your mailing

address, fax numbers, contact person, etc. We will send you

a box of protocols and test stimuli and a manual that more

fully describes the study. If you have additional

questions, please e-mail [email protected]

Thanks,
