Are you scheduled for weight loss surgery within the next 12 months? You may be able to take part in a research study to help us learn more about your metabolic hormones, eating behaviors, stress, and weight loss before and after your surgery.
Nutrition is not one-size-fits-all. Nutrition, or the foods we eat, can help prevent and fight conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, and more. However, we all live in different environments, we come from different cultures, and each of us is starting from a different place with our health. Additionally, everyone breaks down food differently. Join the Nutrition for Precision Health research study to help researchers learn how our genes, cultural backgrounds, and environments affect our bodies' responses to food. Compensation provided.
During puberty, adolescents grow and change a lot which may make life seem more stressful and emotional. Male and female adolescents experience the changes associated with puberty differently, possibly because of different responses to changes in hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. We are interested in learning more about the role of these hormones in regulating emotional processing and mood symptoms, and whether a mobile training program can help improve mood during the pubertal transition. Participation is 8 weeks with two monthly follow-up surveys. Compensation provided.
We want to learn how people's brains adapt when responding to various food stimuli and decision-making processes. We also want to learn about brain responses to food and beverage consumption. To do this, we will use taste tests, surveys, behavioral tasks, and neuroimaging (fMRI scan).
The purpose of this research study is to get feedback from Black and Latino (a/e/x) participants on the SMILE mHealth app, an app developed to monitor the effects of a mindfulness program through heart rate monitoring and questionnaires.
Are you interested in your health?

In this study, we want to learn more about the experiences and activities of high school-aged youth after a neurological event. This study will also help us to understand the perspectives of youth and a parent/caregiver through photos and stories.
We want to learn more about how executive functioning differs between children with ADHD, ASD, or neither. We have finished recruiting for our ADHD and typically developing groups but are still recruiting autistic children to be a part of our study. Children will complete an iPad-based measure of executive functioning and complete various tasks while their brain activity is being monitored using EEG. We will also complete a short eye-tracking task. Parents will fill out different forms to get an understanding of each child's developmental history and current behaviors.
