Are you between the ages of 18 and 25? Are you struggling with substance abuse?
Researchers at UConn Health are recruiting volunteers for a study looking at new ways to help people deal with both substance abuse and traumatic events. Half of participants will receive a free experimental treatment to help them with substance abuse and trauma. These participants will have a chance to earn an average of $250 in prizes. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the treatments (like a flip of a coin). All participants will also receive referrals for substance use treatment in the community. All study participants will be compensated up to $125 for their time. Participation involves meetings twice/week for 10 weeks and 3 interviews over 6 months.
