Please note that this is an opportunity to participate in research for compensation and not a job posting.
We are looking for people to participate in a research study sponsored by the NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH.

The study will create a DNA collection from over 2,000 people to permit scientists to search for hoarding-related genes. Identifying genes that contribute to hoarding may lead to the development of better treatments for hoarding.

YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR PARTICIPATION IF:
• You are between the ages of 18 and 60.
• You have been told by a doctor or other health professional that you have hoarding behaviors.
• You have two close biological relatives (parents or siblings) who might also be interested in helping with the study

IF YOU VOLUNTEER AND ARE ELIGIBLE:
• You will be interviewed about your personal and family mental health history. Interviews can be completed over the phone.
• You and your relatives will be asked to give a blood sample for DNA. This can be done in your home.
• Confidentiality is protected for you and your relatives.
• Compensation is $75 for a 2-3 hour interview and a blood draw
