Thank you for your interest in the WELL Center!
Fully REMOTE participation is available for all studies that are currently recruiting.
To see whether you are eligible for one of our studies, please complete the ~10 minute survey below. At the end of the survey, if it seems like you might be eligible for one of our studies based on the information provided, you will be prompted to schedule a phone screen, which takes approximately 30 minutes.
To get started, we need to gather some basic information from you. Thank you for your interest in the CGM study. The purpose of this study is to better understand the relationship between blood glucose and eating behaviors. You will be asked to record your meals and mood in real time on your phone through an app for 2 weeks. You will also record your activity and sleep on a smartwatch we will provide you with. Lastly, you will be asked to wear a small wearable glucose sensor that will be inserted to the skin on your abdomen. Participation for this study is fully remote and you will be compensated up to $500.
First, we will ask you to answer a number of questions about you and your eating behaviors. You do not need to be currently struggling with your eating or weight to be eligible for this study. At the end of the survey, if it seems like you might be eligible for the study based on the information provided, you will be prompted to schedule a phone screen, which takes approximately 30 minutes. Thank you for your interest in the WELL Center and the WELL Clinic!
Due to Covid-19, we are currently recruiting for SOME but not ALL of our studies. Remote participation is available for the studies we are recruiting for.
If, based on the information you provide, you are not eligible for the studies we are currently recruiting for, we will reach out to you to schedule a phone screen once we are recruiting again for all our studies. Please feel free to email wellcenter@drexel.edu if you have any questions!
