Research participants wanted for study on adults age 60 or older and cannabis use

Do you use cannabis?

Our research group is looking for adults, age 60 or older, who use cannabis.

The UIC COAST Research Group has a research study that may be right for you. The study requires completing questionnaires and surveys. Additionally, there are two in-person visits at our UIC research office, one week apart. Participants will also complete interviews daily on a smartphone for two seven-day periods during the study. Participants will be paid for their time.

To participate, you must be: 

• 60 years of age or older
• Someone who uses cannabis
• Willing to carry a smartphone and complete short surveys for seven days
• Willing to download an app onto your own smartphone and complete surveys for another seven days
• Able to attend study visits at our UIC research office

If you are interested in participating, please complete a short online survey to determine if you are eligible.
