  • Between 18 and 25? Experienced a Traumatic Event?

    Are you between the ages of 18 and 25? Have you experienced a traumatic event?

    Researchers at UConn Health in Farmington, CT are recruiting volunteers for a study of better ways to help people deal with drug or alcohol use and traumatic events. Half of participants receive a free experimental treatment to help them with drug or alcohol use and trauma. These participants have a chance to earn an average of $250 in prizes. The other half receives referrals for treatment elsewhere. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the treatments (like a flip of a coin).

    All study participants are paid up to $295 for their time. Participation involves meetings twice/week for 10 weeks and 3 interviews over 6 months.
