Do you use cannabis?

Our research group is looking for adults, age 60 or older, who use cannabis.

The UIC COAST Research Group has a research study that may be right for you. The study requires completing questionnaires and surveys. Additionally, there are two in-person visits at our UIC research office, one week apart. Participants will also complete interviews daily on a smartphone for two seven-day periods during the study. Participants will be paid for their time.

To participate, you must be: 

• 60 years of age or older
• Someone who uses cannabis
• Willing to carry a smartphone and complete short surveys for seven days
• Willing to download an app onto your own smartphone and complete surveys for another seven days
• Able to attend study visits at our UIC research office

If you are interested in participating, please complete a short online survey to determine if you are eligible.

Call our research group at 312-996-4528 if you have any questions about the study.
