Recruiting participants for study on stress and the menstrual cycle

The SPINL Lab at CU Boulder is currently recruiting participants for a research study exploring how stress and wellbeing change across the menstrual cycle. If you're someone who tracks your cycle or experiences noticeable shifts in mood or stress, this might be something you'd find interesting to take part in.

Eligible?

  • Ages 18 and up
  • Regular menstrual cycles for the last six months
  • Not currently using hormonal birth control
  • Experience premenstrual symptoms

What does the study involve?

Participation involves a few brief activities spread out across one full cycle, including smartphone-based check-ins, a short survey and at-home ovulation tracking (materials provided). We expect you to divulge about three hours of commitment throughout your cycle. 

  • In total, about three hours spread out across a month
  • Baseline questionnaires
  • At-home ovulation tracking (supplies provided)
  • Six-minute smartphone assessments every other day across your cycle

Participants will also be compensated for their time and can earn up to $50 for their participation. If you're curious to learn more or think you might be eligible, feel free to check out the attached flyer or complete the short pre-screening.

Feel free to reach out to spinl@colorado.edu with any questions.
