  • Volunteers Wanted for Opioid Risk Study

    We are currently recruiting participants for a paid research study

    that is evaluating genetic and psychological risk factors for opioid

    use disorders. Participation will include completing questionnaires

    about anxiety sensitivity and impulsivity, answering questions

    about substance use history, undergoing a behavioral impulsivity

    assessment, and giving blood and urine samples at the time that

    you consent for the study. Participation will involve completing

    one 3 hour study visit.

     

    If you are between the ages of 18-26 years, and have used opioid

    narcotics or taken prescription pain medications without medical

    supervision, or for longer than prescribed, you may be eligible to

    participate.

    You will not be eligible if you have:
