please help! - ?20 for alcohol study research participation

[oliver.clark]

Hi All,

*** Take part in PAID research on the effect of alcohol intoxication on cognitive processing ***

We are currently looking for social drinkers between the ages of 18-35, to take part in research studying influence of alcohol on a computer-based cognitive task and driving simulator. This research is being led by Oliver Clark from King's College London under the supervision of Dr Kyle Dyer and Dr Antony Moss, although testing will take place at LSBU (near Elephant and Castle tube station).

The study consists of two sessions within a 7-day period with each session lasting approximately 2 and a half hours, for which you will be paid ?20 in Sainsbury's gift vouchers. For each session, you will be asked to eat a light meal on the day, but then refrain from eating or drinking anything other than water for at least 4 hours prior to the session.

If you are interested in this research, would like further information, or would like to take part in the study please email Oliver Clark [email protected] with your name, email address and a contact telephone number. We will then contact you to check eligibility and arrange a convenient time for you to participate.

Thanks for any interest and please do let others know if they might be interested, always need more participants!

Is it possible to say roughly how much alcohol participants have to take during the test?

[oliver.clark]

Hi Ms B,

All I can say at this point is that you may or may not be given alcohol in the beverages - this is pretty standard for all alcohol studies that are done. You do however need to be a social drinker to do the study, but of course it has ethical approval so any alcohol given will be at a level for testing to be carried out safely. I hope this sounds okay with you and appreciate your interest.

thanks

Oli

Thanks for clarifying.

You would have to be well pished to do all this for Sainsbury?s vouchers.

Hi Chick,

As with all research, it will increase our current scientific knowledge on the subject and being a study investigating the effects of alcohol, I can guarantee - through previous feedback from participants - an entertaining and even insightful experience that you're paid for :)

thanks for the interest

Good luck Oli. The psychiatry dept at the Maudsley paid me ?40.00 for three hours, and I got a free brainscan.
