Fam Best Study
The purpose of this research study is to understand how caregivers communicate with teenagers through the ups and downs of daily life. We would like to know how caregivers and teens in a modern family act around each other, and how family communication affects well being. The study is conducted all online (e.g., video chats and surveys on phones).
Parent-teen pairs will be asked to do the following: 1. A 2-hour baseline Zoom appointment 2. Brief 1-2 minute long surveys throughout the day for one to two weeks 3. Provide brief video recordings of their interactions during car rides over the one to two week period 4. Carry study-provided smartphones with them at all times when not at school 5. A 30-minute follow-up Zoom appointment
