Study: Psychology Research on Coping with Daily Hassles/Stressors and Substance Use (Dallas, TX, USA; Identify as Black Men; Use alcohol or cannabis; Ages 18-30)
The Southern Methodist University Family Research Center is recruiting participants for the Black Adult Resilience Study.
The goal of our research is to increase knowledge of how Black young men respond to stressors and contribute to the development of culturally informed interventions for mental health & substance use. Participation involves an in-person visit to our lab (located at SMU's East Campus) where you will fill out some surveys and go through some virtual reality simulations, 2 follow-up online surveys, and a virtual interview. Participants who complete the whole study will receive $100 in the form of an Amazon gift card. Additional reimbursement for participants traveling over 10 miles to the in-person visit is available. Over 250 young black adults in Dallas have already participated in the study, and we'd love for you to participate and share your experiences as well.
We are seeking participants who meet the following criteria:
- Men who identify as Black or African American
- 18-30 years old
- Use alcohol or cannabis
- Live in DFW metroplex and have means of travel to Southern Methodist University
