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 transdermal alcohol monitors.

We are looking for people who:

• are 21-26 years of age
• are not pregnant or possibly pregnant
• have not been diagnosed with bipolar disorder
• have a parent 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 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 4 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 $165.

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

To see if you're eligible to participate, please complete this interest form and a research staff member will contact you: https://redcap.link/fxo9z240
