In general, your involvement would last from one to three years, depending on the study. At first, volunteers will be asked to come to our clinical offices at the UConn Health Center's main campus in Farmington. We also open satellite clinics in Hartford and other nearby towns to make it easier for volunteers to participate. Some studies will reimburse you for travel, and we provide meal money or a snack when you stay for more than a few hours. Equipment required for excercise studies is provided for participants.
All information gather during a study is confidential.
Your identity will be protected in any publications resulting from the study. Information is available ONLY to the professional staff. When you call this number, we will describe the studies to you and ask you a few questions to determine which study might suit you best. If you decline to participate in these studies, there may be a later one that interests you. We will also put your name on the Pepper Center roster, which means you will receive our newsletter, Successful Aging .
