Arkansas study examines young adult drinking

The University of Arkansas recently announced a new study that will look at alcohol use and intoxication in adults between the ages of 21 and 29.

A team composed of members from university's departments of Psychological Science, Human Environmental Sciences, and Health, Human Performance and Recreation will conduct the study, which will include a computerized questionnaire, an interview and possibly the consumption of alcohol.

Participants will be paid $15 per hour. Those chosen for the study might need to commit to a seven-hour stay. To accommodate varying schedules, the study might include evening and weekend hours.

A brief telephone screening is required to determine eligibility. To be consider, call Alex Melkonian or Kyle Jackson at 479-575-3963.
