Researchers at the Waisman Center at UW-Madison are recruiting adults with the Fragile X premutation for an online study on language, executive function, and quality of life.
About the Study
Who can participate?
Male and females with the Fragile X premutation between the ages 30-65 whose primary language is English may be eligible to participate.
What will happen in the study?
If the individual qualifies and decides to be in this research study, they will complete 1-2 hours of online tasks.
The following is a list of some of the tasks that will happen during the study:
- Language assessments
- Cognitive testing
- Standardized tests
- Questionnaires
What are the good things that can happen from this research?
The will be no immediate benefits to participating in this research. However, your participation my benefit other people in the future by helping us learn more about how language is affected among people with the Fragile X premutation.
Participants will be compensated for their time.
What are the bad things that can happen from this research?
A potential risk of participation includes the potential for a breach of confidentiality, although the study involves protections to minimize such risks. In addition, participants may become embarrassed or anxious when they are asked study questions or are completing study tasks.
There may be other risks that we do not know about yet.
