Domestic Violence Brain Injury Research Study
The Brain Injury Research Center at Mount Sinai is currently seeking Veterans and civilians who have experienced physical violence from a partner that resulted in an injury to the face, head, or neck. This could include blows to the head or neck, repetitive injuries, or choking. Participants are eligible if at least one year has passed since the most recent episode of head injury related to partner violence.
Participants must be willing and able to travel to New York City for a 4-5 hour study visit. A study visit will include a brief set of thinking tests, an interview with surveys, a blood draw, a brief assessment about your physical health, and an MRI scan. Participants will have the option to make known their wishes for brain donation at the end of life. Participants will receive $100 for in-person visits or $50 for participation via telephone. Travel reimbursements may be made upon request.
