Did you know that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men experience severe physical intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetime? Have you experienced physical violence from a partner that resulted in an injury to your face, head, or neck? This could include blows to the head or neck, repetitive injuries, or choking. Your participation in our research study could help improve brain health for individuals who have experienced brain injury from intimate partner violence.
The Brain Injury Research Center at Mount Sinai is currently seeking individuals who have experienced physical violence by a partner, with at least one year since the most recent injury, and who can 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.
