Paid Brain Imaging Research Study on Family Risk for Alcohol Problems: Young Adults Needed

Paid Research Study on Family Risk for Alcohol Problems:
Healthy 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 not pregnant or possibly pregnant
• have no history of psychiatric disorders/neurological disease or seizures
• 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 two sessions during which you drink alcohol while wearing a transdermal alcohol monitoring bracelet. Total participation for first assessment (no alcohol) will take about around 3 hours. Each of the two alcohol sessions will take about 5-6 hours. You will wear the alcohol monitor overnight following the alcohol sessions.

You will be compensated for study components completed and receive up to $175.

To see if you’re eligible, complete the interest form and research staff will contact you: https://redcap.dellmed.utexas.edu/surveys/?s=WE7PJ7KR44AN4D7T
 

The research study will be conducted at The University of Texas at Austin.
