The mission of SPARK is to ignite research at an unprecedented scale to improve lives by advancing our understanding of autism. To join this national autism research cohort, individuals with a professional diagnosis of autism and their biological family members will be asked to share information about their medical and family history, as well as provide a DNA sample. Please contact the Center for Autism Research for more information at 1-866-570-6524 or autism@email.chop.edu.
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about improving the treatment and outcomes for patients who have a diagnosis of a single ventricle, such as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) or similar heart defects. You will be asked to fill out a questionnaire called the Ages and Stages Questionnaire about your child. It is used widely in pediatrics to check on babies’ development. We will ask you to fill this out about every three months during your child’s 15 months of life. Also, information will be collected about your child’s surgeries, clinic visits and hospital stays from diagnosis through the first year of life. The information may be used to help us understand an infant's response to surgery and medical treatment and may be used to improve care for children with single ventricles.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate social interactions in adolescents and whether changes in information can influence social behaviors. This study will focus on behavioral assessments of social processing over time in adolescents. The information collected in this study is essential for developing clinical treatments focused on addressing social processes in adolescents with restrictive eating disorders and to improve our understanding of social processing in adolescents with restrictive eating disorders, informing both future research and clinical care.
The purpose of the study is to learn more about the experience of caregivers who have a child diagnosed with autism. We also want to better understand what is working well in healthcare in the US. This study is open to primary caregivers of a child (aged 3-17) who has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in the last year. Participants must have immigrated to the US and identify as Hispanic or Latinx. Study staff will interview participants about their experiences as a caregiver of an autistic child. This one-time interview will last 60-90 minutes in Spanish or English.
The Center for Injury Research & Prevention is seeking teens age 16-19 and a parent to participate in a research study about distracted driving. Both teens and parents must be licensed drivers and use smartphones. The purpose of this research study is to figure out if a new smartphone app impacts distracted driving, and to learn parent and teen perspectives on the app. Participants will be asked to complete occasional surveys and use a smartphone app for up to 3 weeks. The entire study can be completed remotely, and no visits to CHOP are required. Families are compensated for their time in the study.
We are asking both parents and their child between ages 16-18 who recently received their learner’s permit to partner with us as we learn more about teen driving safety. We are looking for children both with and without an ADHD diagnosis to participate. First, parents will answer questions about themselves and their child. Then, both parents and their child will complete up to five surveys over the course of two to three years. The surveys will ask about your thoughts and experiences with driving, health, and other outcomes.
