Exciting Opportunity for Youth Ages 11 to 15!

The Oregon Center for Applied Science (ORCAS) has created a fun and educational computer program to help adolescents learn about and prevent depression. For this research study, ORCAS needs to recruit 300 adolescents ages 11-15 to evaluate the program. Adapted from an empirically validated intervention, the program will include six Cognitive Behavior Therapy modules, interactive and educational games, and additional content related to youth depression.

Youth who participate will be compensated up to $120 for their time. They will also have the unique opportunity to learn new skills to help them feel better more of the time while helping us develop a program to meet the needs of others their age.

To get additional information about the project, request recruitment
materials, or sign up to participate, please call 1-866-822-0226 or email bluesblaster@orcasinc.com. ORCAS is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health.
