Participate in CU Research Studies - Be rewarded for your time!
Are you or your child interested in participating in a research study on mood and behavior?
The Research on Affective Disorders and Development Lab has two upcoming research studies:
- Research on the effects of CBD on mood and behavior among young adults ages 18 to 30.
- Research on cognitive abilities, brain networks, and emotional wellbeing among adolescents ages 13-16.
The CBDx study includes a few different parts:
- You will answer short twice-daily surveys for 6 weeks on your mobile device.
- You will complete three in-person research visits, each including an interview about life experiences, a set of computer games, a blood draw, and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scan.
- You will select and use a CBD product for up to 6 weeks.
The study takes place over the course of 6 weeks and you will be compensated for your participation (up to $1,038 for completing all parts of the study).
The RRAY study is a two-year study that includes two visits to our laboratory in Â鶹ӰԺ, each lasting about six hours. During these visits your child will:
- Be interviewed about life experiences, complete computer games that involve paying attention and learning, and have a neuroimaging scan.
- They will also complete a set of online surveys and a brief telephone interview once every three months (nine times total during the two-year study participation).
- At the end of the study, your child will have a final telephone interview, lasting about two hours.
Participants can earn up to $1,335 for their time and effort completing all parts of the study.Ìý
