- Study HIC#:2000026392
- Last Updated:10/27/2025
The study involves 2 visits to our research laboratory - the Yale Center for Biobehavioral Health Research in Orange, CT - that will be separated by one of the following intervals of independent Home Data Collection, which will be determined by random assignment:
1) 7 days of Home Data Collection at 3-month intervals for 12 months (Months 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12)
2) 7 days of Home Data Collection at 6-month intervals for 12 months (Months 0, 6, and 12)
3) 7 days of Home Data Collection and 12 months later (Months 0 and 12)
In the lab, you’ll complete questionnaires, have your height, weight, and blood pressure measured, give a blood sample from your finger to measure inflammation, and give a small hair sample to measure the stress hormone cortisol. Between the two lab visits, you will take devices home to measure your sleep and blood pressure and complete short questionnaires.
Lab parking is free, and compensation is up to $700.
