Participate in NCRIPT (VA Study)

We are working with the Veterans Affairs Pittsburgh Healthcare System to conduct a research study to better understand the relationship between thinking, brain structure and function among Veterans with psychotic disorders. 

Eligible Veterans will complete questionnaires, undergo MRI and cognitive testing.  Participants will be compensated $700 for their time! Click the link for the study brochure: NCRIPT_StudyInfo.pdf

Participants must be:
• Between the ages of 18 and 60 years.
• Receive care through the VA, or otherwise have their primary care physician (PCP) office at the VA.

Veterans with psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia are encouraged to participate, and we are also enrolling veterans without a severe mental illness.
