The Duke Center for Autism has a volunteer research registry which allows them to contact interested individuals to let them know about the research being conducted at the Center. Participation is always voluntary. Enrolling in the registry also offers the opportunity to receive newsletters and other communication about events and activities sponsored by the Center.
Joining the Duke Registry for Autism Research does not mean you are signing up for a study. Instead, they let you know of upcoming studies that may be of interest to you and your child. Studies may include behavioral or medical interventions, brain imaging, cognitive testing or computer-based questionnaires. You can choose what works best for you and your schedule, and opt out at any time.
To learn more about the Research Registry, contact them at 888.691.1062 or email them at autismresearch@dm.duke.edu. They will answer any questions you have and, if you are willing, take down a bit of personal information and send you the forms. You can also visit their website at autismcenter.duke.edu.
