Mass General is Looking for Study Participants

Are You a MOTHER with Both a Child and a Dog?

You may be eligible for a research study being conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital to learn more about the relationship between people, their pets and their children.

We are seeking women between 22-45 years old who have at least one dog and a child to receive:

       A home visit (approx. 2 hours) where we will ask you to fill out questionnaires and photograph your dog and child. 

       A 1 hour fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) brain scan at our imaging center.

Participants will receive $25.00 for the home visit and $60.00 plus a parking  voucher for the imaging session.  For more information, please contact
