Some exciting news! We just launched a survey activity only for teens.

To join the BOBA Project, no parent participation is required.

What is
the BOBA Project?

Funded by the National Institutes of Health and philanthropy, the BOBA Project is an online program aiming to learn about the experiences of Asian American teens (12-18 years). 

​

In doing so, we: 

  • Provide a space for teens and parents to share their perspectives about being Asian/Asian American.

  • Build bonds between family members.

 

We are currently enrolling Massachusetts， New York, and New Jersey families that identify as Chinese or Taiwanese.

​

Grants: 1R01MH129360-01, 1R21HD107512-01A1, 1R21HD115355-01

What's involved?

  1. Online screener. Parents and teens will fill out an online form to confirm eligibility (5-10 min each).

  2. Surveys. Teens will complete surveys about their experiences (30 min), and parents can also decide to do surveys about their experiences (1 hour).

  3. Zoom session. Parents and teens can decide to do a guided conversation activity together (1 hour). We’ll show you a few scenarios related to being Asian and ask “what would you do?” if you were in that situation.

Who is behind this program?

The BOBA Project is a research study conducted by an Asian American team through the Developmental Risk and Cultural Resilience Lab at Brigham & Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. This work is funded through three grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Participant Testimonials

“I did the Zoom session with my mom, and it was really easy and fun. We talked about some interesting prompts. Sometimes we had different reactions and sometimes the same. I'd do it again, they pay you."
