Jarred Younger said:We are currently conducting a research study at UAB and are recruiting healthy women who were born in 1961-1963 or 1974-1976, and are under 56 years of age.
This research study aims to better understand how alcohol affects the immune system in people with fibromyalgia.
We will ask you to drink a small amount of alcohol so that we can assess its effect on markers of immune activity.
You will be asked to come to UAB 3 times over 3 weeks. There will be 1 telephone screening, 1 eligibility screening, 1 experimental session & 1 follow-up session. If you are eligible to participate in this study, you will be compensated up to $350. ($25/eligibility screen; $300/experimental session; $25/follow up session).
Participants must be: female; healthy; aged 55 or less and born in 1961-1963 or 1974-1976; not pregnant or currently planning to become pregnant; without any significant medical conditions such as heart disease; not using any opioid medication or have a history of alcohol dependence.
