Participate in Our Research

We are looking for men and women who meet the following criteria:

• Ages 18 and up
• May experience or be diagnosed with mental disorder
• OR may not have a mental disorder
• Smokers OR non-smokers
• Alcohol drinkers OR non-drinkers
• Otherwise medically healthy
• If female, not pregnant

The exact procedure varies according to which study you meet criteria for. First we need to see whether you are eligible to take part. Generally, this involves a short confidential phone interview and an in-person visit for psychological and medical screening (which includes blood work and a urine drug test). All information provided is confidential.

If you meet criteria for any of our studies, you will be asked to return for one or more MRI scans and one or more PET scans. You will also be asked to perform some tests on a computer to assess cognitive functions such as memory and decision-making. You will be paid for each procedure you take part in. Find out more about MRI and PET.
