Ritalin and Adderall research study needs participants

Wednesday, March 9, 2011, By News Staff

You are invited to participate in a confidential study by the Psychology Department at Syracuse University.

We are interested in learning more about prescription stimulant medications, such as Ritalin and Adderall, and testing performance.

You may be eligible to participate if:
(1) You are between the ages of 18 and 24 years
(2) You are an undergraduate student at Syracuse University
(3) You have used stimulant medications (like Ritalin and Adderall) either with or without a prescription in the past 3 months

Participants will be asked to complete some questionnaires, perform some short tests and participate in a few follow-up telephone calls.

The study involves 2 in-person and 3 telephone meetings over the course of 4 months. All the in-person sessions take place in the Psychology Department. Participants will receive compensation following completion of each research session.

If you are interested in participating in this study, or would like more information regarding the study, please contact Allison at (315)
