Mood and health study seeks participants



February 23, 2001


The Department of Psychology in Arts & Sciences is seeking volunteers to participate in a study looking at the effects of depression on the immune system.

To qualify for the study, volunteers should be currently experiencing feelings of sadness or depression, loss of interest in enjoyable activities, and have noticed changes in eating, sleeping or concentration.

If eligible after a telephone screening, volunteers will make one or two visits to the laboratory, each lasting approximately 2 1/2 hours. Each volunteer will undergo an interview about mood and behavior, complete questionnaires, routine blood tests, and measurements for blood pressure, height, weight, waist and hips.

Anyone currently taking anti-depressants is not eligible for the study.

Compensation up to $150 is possible for participation.

For more information, call the Psychobiology of Health Laboratory at 935-6738. All inquiries are confidential.
