Chattanooga Alliance for Research Engagement (CARE)

Members of my lab and I have participated in several recruiting events for CARE, including a booth at the Chattanooga market in October, 2015.

CARE is an organization dedicated to engaging Chattanooga elders in the UTC Psychology Department's research programs. Participants voluntarily provide demographic information to be entered into a secure database. These individuals can then be contacted in the future if they are deemed eligible for participation in a UTC-sponsored research project. This organization is important, as it provides interested older adults the opportunity to contribute to the local and scientific communities, as well as provides researchers an elderly sample to conduct research with.
