Caffeine Study Seeks Volunteers

03/23/2018

A graduate student studying medical nutrition therapy is seeking volunteers for a research study involving the effects of caffeine on blood pressure and heart rate.

The purpose of the study is to see whether heart rate's response to caffeine is predictive in changes in blood pressure.

Volunteers must be those not diagnosed with hypertension or hypotension, aged 18 to 60 years old, non-smokers, non-pregnant and free of any heart condition.

The research will be conducted in the Allied Health Professions Building and will require approximately five hours of total participation over three separate days.

For more information contact Kelsey Wright or call 618-303-6984.

Wright is advised by Ted Weiss, Ph.D.

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocol number for the study is 28672 and the protocol was approved on Dec. 19, 2017.
