The information below concerns a research study conducted at Northwestern University:

ADAPT is a place for young people worried about recent changes in their thoughts, perceptions, and feelings. Eligible participants are ages 12-34.

The purpose of this research study is to better understand how

functioning in different areas are influenced in people that experience

one or more of the following symptoms:

-Unusual thoughts

-Suspiciousness or paranoia

-A sense of having special powers or unrealistic plans for the

future

-Unusual experiences with seeing or hearing things that are not

there.

All assessments are provided at no cost. An initial screening will

compensate participants $30 - $40 for one 1 hour and 30 minutes

long interview (if you are under 18, your parent will receive the same

amount for their time). Then, if ADAPT is found to be a good fit for

longitudinal study. Professional recommendations and treatment

referrals will be provided.
