SMART Study Testimonials
“I'm grateful for everyone involved in this. I wish I had the opportunity to have something like this when I was a kid… What a gift they've been given by getting help early and young... having grown up with it and dealt with it, I know what you are possibly helping them avoid. Beyond grateful that you all do this. So thank you.”
—Father of 8 & 11-year-old participants
“It was really helpful for me. I never thought that this would actually work for me. And I was like, ‘Well, why not just try it out?’ And I'm really glad I did, because it helped me a lot.”
—14-year-old participant
“It was nice what the study coordinator said, ‘if at whichever point you are not comfortable, you can be like, okay, I’m done, I don’t want to do this study anymore.’ That gave me more confidence that if we went down a particular path and it just didn’t feel right to my child or to us as a family that we could stop.”
—Mother of 14-year-old participant
