Volunteers needed - USC research study on military families

Study Description 

 Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) are conducting a study to learn how military wives and their teenage children deal with their family member's military service. If you choose to volunteer for this study, you will be asked to answer questions about your family member's service and about how you have coped. You and your teen will also be asked to have two short, videotaped discussions about family issues. Your participation is voluntary and would involve a 2-hour meeting with USC researchers. You will receive $75 as compensation for your time. 

 Eligibility:
 - Mother and child aged 14-18 are both willing to participate
 - Mother and child can complete questionnaires and interviews in English
