 | Brain Imaging Study
The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is looking for young adults aged 18 to 25 years who either 1) regularly smoke tobacco cigarettes or 2) regularly use electronic cigarettes (e.g. JUUL, vapes, e-cigs). We are conducting a non-invasive brain imaging study to look at differences in brain activity within these individuals. There is also an eye-tracking component where individuals look at slideshows of pictures. The study involves attending 3 scheduled study visits that will take up to 8 hours (total) of your time. You will be asked questions about your mental and physical health, your smoking/vaping habits, and you will complete learning and memory games. The total study compensation is $200, and you will be reimbursed for TTC ($6.50 or 2 TTC tokens per visit). To participate, contact research staff at 416-535-8501 ext. 77419 or email ecig.study@camh.ca. |
