School-Related Seasonality in Pediatric Functional Abdominal Pain
Does your child suffer from stomachaches? We want to know what factors make children's stomachaches worse or better during the school year.
We are looking for parents of children/adolescents who:
- Have frequent stomachaches - no prior physician diagnosis needed
- Attend school from fall to spring and have summers off
The research study will involve 2 online questionnaires. No visits to UNC are required. Participants completing the study will be automatically entered in a drawing for a $50 or $100 Amazon gift card redeemable online.

F³ Study - Finding foods fearful: A study of children and adolescents with a fear of trying new foods
If you think your child has a fear of trying new foods and/or has such a limited food variety that it gets in the way, join our online registry of parents who have a child who struggles with food neophobia. Your responses will help us to learn more about this behavioral pattern so we can develop new treatments, help parents feel less blamed, and learn more about the development of taste preferences in general.
