New enrollment is currently closed
We are grateful to all the young men and women who have participated in our study so far. Your willingness to be in the study is helping expand our understanding of how stress gets “under the skin,” and will help us develop ways of preventing unhealthy outcomes from that stress.

What is the study about?
Stress experienced during periods of transition can have lasting impacts on overall health. HARP-T is a research study designed to better understand how stress affects the health and well-being of African American young adults during the transition to adulthood. Your participation will help us learn more about how your body and mind respond to life changes.
What are you asking me to do?
To help us understand how stress affects your body and mind we will ask you to:
- Provide a blood sample (receive $100)
- Participate in body measurements and an MRI scan (learn more about MRIs) (receive $100)
(see the this MRI video to learn more about the process) - Complete an online survey about yourself (receive $100)
- Repeat all of the above after a year
Who is eligible?
African American young adults ages 18-24 who can travel to UGA for research visits may be eligible. If you are eligible, we will get in touch to provide more detail, answer questions and enroll you in the study if you’re still interested.
