Research Studies
Participants Needed for Research Study: Recently Discharged from a Psychiatric Hospital? A doctoral research study is seeking adults who have been discharged from an inpatient psychiatric facility within the past 90 days to participate in a confidential study about their experiences with mental health support after discharge. Email Sidney Hale at [email protected] if you’re interested in participating.
Research Participants Needed: Are You Reducing or Stopping a Psychiatric Medication? We are a research team at the University of Washington studying how people taper or stop psychiatric medications such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and stimulants. If you are over 18 years old and currently reducing or stopping (tapering) a psychiatric medication, we would love to hear about your experiences. Click here to take the eligibility survey.
