Paid Brain Imaging Research Study on Bipolar Disorder and Alcohol: Young Adults Needed

The Department of Psychiatry at Dell Medical School is conducting a research study that looks at genes and how the brain responds to alcohol using MRI brain scanning techniques.

We are looking for people who:

• are 21-26 years of age
• are eligible for MRI scans
• are not pregnant or possibly pregnant
• have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder
• are able to drink alcohol during study visits

You will come to the laboratory for 3 study visits. Study components include completing diagnostic interviews, mental function (cognitive and behavioral) tests, giving a saliva sample, and completing 3 MRI scans (2 of these scans are completed after drinking different amounts of alcohol). Total participation for initial assessment and 1^st MRI scan (no alcohol) will take about 5-6 hours. Each of the two alcohol MRI sessions will take about 5-6 hours.

You will be compensated for study components completed and receive up to $220.
