What will I have to do?
The research study will take place on the University of Connecticut’s Storrs campus and
there will be three parts to this study that will include two in person visits. You will be
asked to complete screenings/surveys and you will be asked to come to campus for two in
person visits. During these visits, we will take your body composition measurements
(such as height, weight, waist circumference, and body fat percentage), we will take your
blood pressure, and we will draw your blood. Participation will take about 1-2 hours
during both in person visits, scheduled at your convenience.
You will be compensated for this study.
