Are you a first-year student at ñ? Do you have a parent or sibling with a history of depression or anxiety? Join the Stress and Coping in College Youth (SCCY) Study to help us understand wellness on campus!

The Research on Affective Disorders and Development Lab is conducting research on stress coping in first year CU students. We want to understand what helps CU students cope with stress during major transitions, including the transition to college and across semesters.

The study includes a few different parts that happen over the three-semester study period:

  1. There are two in-person research sessions, each of which takes about 4-6 hours. During these sessions, you will play some computer games while we monitor physical functioning (for example, your heart rate). You will also complete a set of interviews and surveys that ask about stress, behavior, mood, and health.
  2. There are three 21-day periods in which we will send you a daily “microsurvey” (1-3 minutes to answer) asking about your behavior and mood using an app.
  3. There are two one-hour online surveys that we will send to your email.

The study takes place over the course of three semesters, and you will be compensated for your participation (maximum of $446-470 for completing all parts of the study).
