We are seeking families with children aged 2-3 to Participate in Media and Health Studies

We are currently enrolling families with children between ages of 2 and 3 years-old for research opportunities that seek to understand children’s media and health behaviors.

During the study your child may:
• Watch age-appropriate TV shows
• Perform simple computer tasks
• Be provided food or snacks
• Be measured for height and weight

You and your child may fill out some questionnaires. We may collect a small amount of your child’s saliva to research common genes that are related to health.

All participants will be financially compensated for participation in the form of Amazon gift cards. Participation is voluntary and confidential.
