For families

Take part in our research

We study how kids and teens grow and what helps them thrive. Families like yours make that possible.

Who we work with

We work with children, teens, and their families in the Milwaukee area. Every family's story is different, and we want to hear from all kinds of families.

TaLE MKE is just getting started in Milwaukee. If you would like to hear about our studies, email us and we will be in touch when a study is a good fit for your family.

What to expect

What taking part can involve

Each study is different. Before you decide, we explain exactly what a study involves, how long it takes, and answer every question you have.

  • Answer questions

    Surveys about daily life, feelings, and family, on paper or a tablet.

  • Talk with us

    Short interviews with a trained member of our team.

  • Play computer games

    Simple games that tell us about attention, learning, and emotion.

  • Sometimes, an MRI

    Pictures of the brain taken with a magnet. MRI uses no radiation.
