Northeastern University’s Connect Study follows teens aged 12–17 for eight months to learn about social media, phone use and wellbeing. Teens can earn up to about $740 plus a picture of their brain, and parents can earn up to about $235. In-person visits are in Boston and Cambridge.
At least one parent must attend visits and complete parts of the study. There are three in-person visits, including an MRI, and nine monthly virtual check-ins, plus a Garmin watch and study app; travel and parking are reimbursed. Fill out the Connect Study interest form to apply.
