-Researchers in the Department of Psychology at Ryerson University are seeking individuals and their family members to participate in a hoarding research project. The purpose of the project is to investigate family members’ reactions to hoarding-related behaviors (acquiring, difficulty discarding, clutter). Results of this study will help us better understand the complex interactions that occur between individuals with hoarding problems and their family members.
A brief online screening questionnaire is required to determine eligibility. Eligible participants will be compensated for their participation, which includes the completion of online questionnaires and a telephone interview.
