Dear all,

Please find information and attached posters for a research that my colleague is running at the South London and Maudsley/Institute of Psychiatry. If you are interested in hearing more or getting involved in the project, please contact Laura Selema below.

STOP Project:

Some young people experience mental health symptoms as part of an ongoing illness or when taking medications. We are looking for healthy volunteers with no mental health problems to take part in a study to help evaluate the Suicidality: Treatment Occurring in Paediatrics (STOP) questionnaires. We are looking for children and adolescents (and their parents/carers) between the ages of 8- under 18 years to take part. Taking part involves completing a set of online questionnaires at three different time points over a 12 month period (the whole process should take no more than 40 minutes). You will be compensated £40 worth of universal vouchers per parent + child for your time. Travel expenses are also reimbursed.
