We are currently conducting two additional studies that focus on stress among women who live in coastal Louisiana, whether you experienced the oil spill or not. To participate in either study, you must have completed at least one WaTCH telephone survey.

graphic_1One studygraphic_female1 involves taking a brief online survey on stress. It should take about 15 minutes to finish. After you complete the survey, you will receive a $10 thank you from us.

graphic_2The other study involves testing a smartphone app designed to teach you mindful meditation. Regular meditation can be an effective treatment for stress, worry, lack of focus, relationship problems, and more. It can lead to peace of mind and greater well-being, focus and creativity, and better relationships.

Many people spend many hours training with a special teacher in a special school to learn how to practice mindful meditation. This study, however, is testing an app to be your very own personal trainer.
