Paid Research Study Opportunity for Teen Girls (Dell Medical School - UT Austin)

[Lydia Salbilla]

Hi all, 

I’m reaching out on behalf of the SAGE research team at Dell Medical School at UT Austin. We're conducting a study on social and emotional development in adolescent girls, both with and without autism. We are looking for help connecting with families who may be interested. 

We’d be grateful if you would consider participating or sharing this opportunity with families that may be interested.

Who Can Participate? 

• Girls aged 14–16 (assigned female at birth, identifying as she/her) 

• Girls who received an Autism diagnosis before age 9 (for the autistic group) 

• Girls with Access to a smartphone 

• Girls with a caregiver willing to participate  

 

What’s Involved: 

• One in-person visit at Dell Medical School or Dell Children’s (clinical interview + surveys) 

• One week of daily app-based surveys 

• Seven short remote follow-ups over two years 

Compensation: Up to $540 

Participation is voluntary. If you know of any families who may be interested, please feel free to pass along the attached flyer or this interest form (completing this form is not a commitment to the study): Interest form.
