Referral Screening – 1.1

Thank you for registering your interest in our research. We will ask you a few questions to assess whether your child is suitable for our study using micronutrients to help balance emotions and irritability in teens. We will not use your information for any other purpose than assessing eligibility for research conducted in the Mental Health and Nutrition Research Lab.

For this study, you and your child will be required to meet with a trial clinical psychologist (via zoom/phone) at least three times, complete questionnaires online, your child will be required to take up to 12 pills a day (4 three times a day) a day for 4 months (2 months blinded to the ingredients, 2 months definitely taking the micronutrients), and fill out various questionnaires every week (only a few minutes).
