Neuroimaging Study on Adolescent Alcohol History, Habit

Chapel Hill NC

Description

We are scientists from UNC’s Alcohol Center conducting research aimed at exploring the connection between adolescent alcohol use, behavioral flexibility, and brain connectivity. Are you a healthy adult aged 22‐40 years old who binge drank* alcohol prior to age 18 but have not done so in the past 12 months? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a research study designed to examine the relationship between alcohol, habitual behaviors, and attention to reward. The study involves 2 sessions for 6 hours total, with session 1 lasting 2 hours and session 2 lasting 4 hours. You will complete questionnaires and computerized tasks in session 1, and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan and computerized tasks in session 2. For your participation, you will be compensated with $15/hour, plus bonuses based on task performance. If interested, please contact us with the following information.
