We are conducting a study on neural activity following substance use.
To participate, you must be right-handed, have used cigarettes and/or used e-cigarettes (e.g., a Juul or other nicotine vape) on a nondaily basis in the past month, and have no metal in your body. Evening / weekend scheduling and assistance with transportation are available.
If eligible based on a 20 minute pre-screening and 1 hour interview, participation will include two 5-6 hour visits to the lab, and 2 follow-up phone interviews. You may earn up to $400 for full completion of all study components.
Each visit will involve:
Tests and questionnaires to measure thinking abilities and decision making
An MRI at the OHSU Advanced Imaging Research Center
Before each MRI scan, you will consume a legal, non-prescription substance at a dosage proven safe for human consumption. For example, the substance may be a stimulant (like caffeine), a depressant (like alcohol), an analgesic (or painkiller, like aspirin), or placebo.
COVID-19 UPDATE: We are still recruiting participants for the study and can complete pre-screening screening through our online surveys
