HOARDING STUDIES
HOARDING STUDIES
Do you find it extremely difficult to throw things away?
Do you frequently collect or buy new things?
Do you have excessive clutter?
Our research studies might be a good fit for you.
We are looking for individuals who have previously participated in treatment for hoarding, but who continue to struggle with difficulties discarding and clutter. Our study will provide 8 free additional coaching sessions to support continued sorting practice, along with an app-assisted “helper” to support solo-sorting sessions.
What does participating in this study involve?
Participants need to commit to 5-6 weeks of participation, during which time they will work closely with a coach from our team to complete eight virtual sorting sessions over the course of four weeks. They will also be encouraged to complete 30 minutes of independent sorting each day with the assistance of an app-based “helper”, as well as complete several assessment appointments. The coaching is free of charge to our research participants and up to $100 compensation is provided for completing various study parts.
You may be eligible to participate if you are in the US, between the ages of 18-90, you have hoarding disorder, and you have participated in at least one course of treatment for hoarding (e.g., Buried in Treasures self-help group).
