Why Join a CBITs Study?

About one in five adults experience depression or anxiety during their lifetime. Despite this common experience, it can often be difficult to access care due to cost, transportation and time limitations.

At The Center for Behavioral Intervention Technologies (CBITs), we are passionate about using technology to connect people with skills and tools that improve psychological well-being and promote general health. If you or someone you know experiences depression or anxiety, or you think you might be at risk, you may be eligible to participate in one of our paid research studies.

Input from study participants is incredibly valuable and helps make research better. By working together, we can help improve programs and tools for individuals with depression and anxiety.

Research Subject Recruitment Registry

We are seeking volunteers interested in joining a research registry of individuals that may participate in our current and future research studies. 

We encourage you to join our registry if you are 18+ and want to share your opinions on improving technology that can support mental health.
