Are you a parent or caregiver of a child age 5-17 who has experienced multiple involuntary Baker Act exams?  We want to learn about your experience.  You may be eligible to participate in an interview study to hear parent and caregiver perspectives on why children receive multiple Baker Act exams and to learn about what supports families need.  This study is a web-based or phone interview lasting 45-60 minutes. Participants will receive a $50 Amazon gift card after completing the interview. Enrolling through Summer 2025.   To request an interview or inquire about eligibility, email Jordyn Lord at jordynlord@usf.edu or call 813-974-1010.  For questions about this study, contact Anna Davidson Abella at aldavids@usf.edu.
