    Paid health behaviors study - students needed 

     

    We're here to help motivate U to improve your health! 

    We're looking for UConn students to join the Mindful U program, a low-commitment, mostly online study focused on enhancing health behaviors through mindfulness, encouragement, and social support. 

    If interested, you'll start by completing a 20-minute online survey about your health habits (eating, exercise, sleep, stress) and some non-identifiable info (age, gender, ethnicity, student status). Participation is voluntary and confidential, and those who complete the initial survey will receive a small gift as thanks (valued under $5). Participants who are eligible and complete the study will receive a total compensation of $30 at the end of their participation. 

     

    Participants who complete the full study will receive monetary compensation. The study is about a 3-hour total time commitment, including: 

    • An online goal-setting session with a registered dietitian or dietetics student 

    • An in-person lab session 

    • 3 weekly text/email tailored messages to support your health goals over 9 weeks 

    • Weekly surveys (approx. 1 minute each) to track progress 

    • A follow-up online session and lab visit 

     

    If interested, please contact mindfuluproject@gmail.com 

    We will respond with the survey link and more information about the study. We can’t wait to hear from you, thank you!
