RESEARCH PARTICIPATION OPPORTUNITIES AT THE AATC

They know that the data they provide are a priceless gift of improved scientific knowledge for the researchers and mental health professionals who strive to serve patients. The staff at AATC base their skills upon the best information that science provides. You can help us continue to advance the science upon which we base our treatments by volunteering to participate in the studies that we, or other researchers, undertake. Please consider volunteering yourself, or your child, to participate in research. It will be a good deed with a long lasting effect humanitarian effect.
