Study Background

Researchers at the University of Michigan are seeking young adults with a recent history of substance use disorder (SUD) to participate in a study that aims to find better techniques for using brain imaging data to predict risk for problematic substance use.

Findings from this clinical research study can improve predictions about individual youths’ risk for substance use disorders.

Participants will attend approximately a 3 hour study session that includes functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), questionnaires, and a brief interview.

Additional Information

The goal of this research study is to help scientists learn how to predict and prevent substance use disorders.

You may qualify for this study if you meet the following criteria.

Key Criteria:

  • Ages 21-29
  • Alcohol or substance use disorder (diagnosed or experiencing symptoms)
  • No history of psychosis in first degree relatives
  • No history of head trauma with loss of consciousness for more than 5 minutes
  • If female, no pregnancy
  • Ability to abstain from using substances for 24 hours
  • Right-handed
  • Able to undergo MRI scan (no metal implants in the body, no claustrophobia)

Once enrolled, this study involves:

  • Completing a clinical interview  (approximately 30 minutes)

  • Undergoing the neuroimaging scanning session (approximately 2 hours) 

  • Answering questionnaires and neurocognitive assessments after the scan (approximately 30 minutes)

Compensation is provided up to $100 for your participation. 

There is no cost for you to participate in this study.
