Calling Adults with Autism and Depression
PS – Are you an adult with Autism and Depression? Then be sure to enroll in our Autism and Depression study.
We are currently recruiting adults ages 18-65 who have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder as well as Depression for a research study at MUSC. The purpose of this study is to investigate new possibilities for treatment for symptoms of both autism and depression.
Compensation will be available to participants. Prospective research participants and referring providers are invited to review detailed information about this study at the official information page at ClinicalTrials.gov.
If you or someone you know is interested in being in this study, please call us at 843-647-6799 or email Melanie Wiley at wileym@musc.edu. Also visit the Autism and Depression study page to learn more.
