Researchers at MRC CBU are looking for participants to help them better understand how ADHD relates to social media engagement and decision-making.

Do you have ADHD and take methylphenidate (common brand names: Ritalin, Medikinet) or lisdexamfetamine (common brand names: Vyvanse and Elvanse)? Researchers at MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit are looking for participants to help them better understand how ADHD relates to social media engagement and decision-making.

You’ll visit the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit twice (about one week apart) to play a computer game and fill out several questionnaires. On one of the two visits, you will arrive an hour after having taken your medication; on the other occasion, you will arrive before having taken your medication. Between the two visits, you will answer daily one-minute surveys on your phone.

The two in-person sessions take less than 1.5 hours each, and you can earn £55 for completing all components of the study. You can get more information about this research and book your sessions today at https://cambridge.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4SJxZOCBu18J2LQ.
