Please read the following information statement.
We would like to invite you to participate in a confidential research study about young adults’ health behaviors and experiences, including alcohol use, attention, and perception.
Please fill out this short survey that asks demographic questions (e.g., age, gender, race/ethnicity), health behavior questions, and contact information to see if our study is right for you.
If eligible based on today’s brief survey, you may be invited to participate in a research study in which you could earn up to $385 and be entered for a chance to win an additional $200 gift card. Details about the study are described below.
If eligible for the study and willing to participate, you would:
- Schedule a 15-minute phone call with a member of our research team
- During the phone call, verify your name/identity and answer additional questions to determine if it is safe for you to participate in this study. If you are eligible, the research team member will review study procedures, answer any questions, and schedule a time for the initial lab session.
- Come to our lab (located on the University of Washington, Seattle campus) for an initial visit compensated at $20 per hour. Typically, this visit lasts approximately 6 hours, but the amount of time can vary, with most visits lasting between 4 and 9 hours. During this visit we would ask you to verify your identity by showing a staff person your driver’s license or ID card, drink an alcoholic beverage, and answer questions on computers and your phone. You will relax in the lab until your BAC comes back down and it is safe for you to leave.
- Over the next 2 months, answer brief surveys on your phone and wear a wrist-based alcohol monitor (compensation up to $235).
- Return to our lab for a final 1-hour in-person session (compensated at $30).
We have a Certificate of Confidentiality from the U.S. federal National Institutes of Health (NIH) which allows us to keep your identifiable research information confidential from legal proceedings or in response to a legal request unless you give us permission to release it. You or a member of your family can share information about your part in this research if you wish.
There are some limits to this protection, including reporting things like child or elder abuse, monitoring by the agencies conducting the research, and others as listed elsewhere in this consent form.
The Certificate expires when the NIH funding for this study ends. Currently this is 08/31/2025. Any data collected after expiration is not protected as described above. Data collected prior to expiration will continue to be protected.
