Why this research matters
Social anxiety studies at Lumos enroll adults whose fear of scrutiny meaningfully limits work, school or relationships. We know walking into a research clinic is itself a hard step for this condition, screening is structured accordingly: predictable, low-pressure, with everything explained before it happens.
