Many young girls may not grow up to be healthy, strong and confident unless we help them now. Without encouragement, support and inspiration early in life, low self esteem can influence young girls to not take care of themselves, not do well in school, not develop healthy relationships with others, and to engage in risky behaviors. Research over the past decade has shown positive self-esteem to be the defining key to a young girl's healthy growth and development. And yet, according to recent national studies by the Dove Foundation, 7 in 10 girls believe that they are not good enough or do not measure up in some way.
Clarian Health decided to take big steps to help young girls three years ago when we launched Girl Power!, an ambitious event that offers Central Indiana girls encouragement, support and inspiration to lead healthy and confident lives. Our vision was to create a day long community forum that celebrated young girls and introduced them to activities, resources, information, and learning to strengthen their self-esteem and to prepare them to successfully take on the dangers and challenges facing them. We must be doing something right. Over 1,100 young girls, their parents, teachers and youth program leaders have since found their way to us each year we have presented Girl Power!

The study aims to help girls learn about their bodies as they go through puberty. This study requires that participants (females age 10-13 and their mothers) visit a study site four times a year for up to four years. At the visit, participants will be asked some personal questions about their health and have swab samples collected. All participants will be compensated for study participation. Adolescent participants will receive $40 for each study visit. Mothers will receive $50 for each annual study visit and $20 at each of her daughter's visits. For more information on how you can participate, contact Alexis Roth-Graneros, MPH by email or by phone at 317-274-8812.
