Social Anxiety Disorder Study

INDIANAPOLIS -- Many teenagers are nervous when they give speeches or answers in class. Many often feel shy or uncomfortable at parties or when they meet new people. Some teenagers feel extremely nervous and shy most of the time. They worry so much about embarrassing themselves in front of other people that they stay quiet much of the time.

If your teenage son or daughter has had extreme social anxiety for at least six months, your teenager may be eligible for a Social Anxiety Disorder study at Riley Hospital for Children.

Indiana University School of Medicine is conducting a study at Riley Hospital for Children involving a new medication for the treatment of social anxiety in adolescents, ages 12 - 17. Eligible adolescents
will receive a free evaluation, free office visits and free study medication.

This study will run through December, 2001.
