Research Volunteers: Stanford Teen Ultra-Processed Foods Study @Stice Lab at Stanford University

We are the Ultra - Processed Foods Study at Stanford University. We are looking to learn more about how certain foods contribute to healthy and unhealthy eating habits and weight gain, and the effects this may have on the brain.

The Stice Lab at Stanford University is conducting a research study for healthy teenagers between the ages of 13-16. The study involves some short questionnaires, body measurements, and a non-invasive fMRI scan where they will taste test small amounts of a milkshake or smoothie (following which they will receive a picture of their brain!). After this, they will complete a 1-year follow-up assessment involving questionnaires for the next 2 years. The total compensation for this study may be up to $238, and time spent in this study could be put towards school service hours! This is also a great way for students interested in medicine, science, and psychology to learn more about the field!

If you are interested in learning more, please follow this link (https://redcap.link/UltraStudyStanford) to a secure and short interest form. Parents or the adolescent can fill this out. If it seems like you will be good fit for this study, a member or the research team will be in touch with you!
