New Study at Duke CMER is Looking for Participants!

Kelly Molthrop, undergraduate research assistant, is examining caregiver and family perspectives.

Hello! I want to make you aware of a study at Duke for which research assistant at CMER, Kelly Molthrop, is seeking participants. Kelly is pursuing her undergraduate senior thesis examining caregiver perspectives on misophonia and how raising a child with misophonia can impact the household. She is also interested in seeing how the financial situation or socioeconomic status of a family may impact overall care and treatment access for misophonia. If you are interested please see the information below.

Description/link:

Is your child especially sensitive to noises? Have you ever heard of Misophonia? Misophonia is a newly recognized condition that affects approximately 4.6% of people in the U.S. People with Misophonia may experience very negative reactions to certain sounds. This may cause trouble at home, at school, and/or at work. To learn more about Misophonia, you can visit What is Misophonia? | Duke Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences.

We want to learn from the perspectives of parents who have children (whether adult children or minors) with misophonia. We are conducting an online survey study that can be completed on your own time (takes approx. 15 minutes). This survey asks questions about your financial status, household conditions, and how these things have impacted treatment of Misophonia. We hope to include the perspectives of more diverse, underrepresented voices that are often left out in Misophonia research.
