Students: Join paid study on wellness, stress-coping

The Research on Affective Disorders and Development Lab is conducting research on wellness and stress-coping in CU students. We want to understand what makes CU students resilient or vulnerable to stress, and explore how campus-based programs may foster wellness.

The study includes a few different parts:

  • Everyone in the study will answer a set of electronic surveys and participate in two phone interviews over the course of one year.
  • Some qualifying participants will have the option to complete an in-person research visit, which includes an interview about life experiences, a set of computer games and a neuroimaging scan.

The study takes place over the course of a year, and you will be compensated for your participation (maximum of $130 to $332 for completing all parts of the study).

If you’re interested in learning more, contact the RADD Lab at raddlab@colorado.edu, 303-735-8306, or complete our web screen.

Grad student club interested in your research: Take the survey

We're the Modscholar Club, made up of graduate students right here at CU Boulder.

We are working on a new research platform called Modscholar.io, which will allow free online scholarly content-sharing. The push to create Modscholar came out of our belief that research articles and information should be more freely accessible to our own institution and the world. This tool helps scholars virtually share and save information with their communities.

We would love to learn more about your life as a researcher, graduate student, post-doc, faculty/staff or scientist/researcher to ensure our platform is comprehensive and inclusive to your specific wants and needs. 

Please help us by taking this quick, 60-second survey.
