About this opportunity

Mercor is recruiting participants for the Youth Well-being Project, a research study led by Stanford University in collaboration with Bocconi University, focused on how smartphones and digital tools affect children and families. Applications are open now. We're accepting applications at this stage to finalize and confirm participants for the upcoming batch, which begins in January. Apply now to lock in your spot — selected applicants will have their place confirmed ahead of the January start. Why participate: - Contribute to Stanford + Bocconi research on children's well-being in the digital age - Help parents make more informed decisions about technology - Flexible, remote participation

Key responsibilities

  • Complete a few short online surveys plus occasional text-message check-ins across the study.
  • Install a parental-control app on your child's phone and keep it installed for the study period.
  • Your child completes two short online surveys and a few text-message check-ins.

Benefits & perks

  • Engagement Details:
  • Start: January (applications are being finalized now).

  • Participation: One child per household.
