Child Adaptation and Neurodevelopment (CAN) Lab

For Parents


Are you pregnant and interested in participating in paid research?  Take this short survey to find out if you are eligible for participation!


Baby Affect and Behavior (BABY) Study


We are recruiting participants for a study with pregnant women. We are interested in whether your mood while pregnant may be related to your baby’s behavior at birth, in part by experiences your child has in the womb. Participants complete online questionnaires, a visit to our research lab, and a follow-up visit at the hospital. Compensation for family participation is up to $150. For more information, please email the CAN Lab at canlab@utah.edu.
