Tweens to Teens (T2T) Project @ Penn State

Researchers at The Pennsylvania State University are conducting a study of behavior and feelings in girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). We are recruiting girls with classical and nonclassical CAH who are 10 to 13 years old.

Purpose: Our goal is to learn more about the development of characteristics related to being a girl (gender development).

What it involves: We will visit you in your home when it is convenient for you. Girls will answer questions about the things they do and are interested in, and how they think and feel. Girls will also provide saliva so we examine their hormones and determine the CAH gene mutation they have. Parents will also be asked to complete questionnaires about their own activities and interests and about their daughter’s behavior.

Shortly after the home visit, we will telephone girls and their parents on several days and ask what the girls did during the day.

Time: The home visit takes about 2-3 hours and the phone interviews last about 30 minutes each.

Compensation: Families will be compensated for their participation.
