Research Study: Couples Wanted!

Compensation up to $200

Are you in a romantic relationship? Want to learn about how your relationship affects your health? The UCLA Relationships and Health Lab is looking for couples between the ages of 18-35 to participate in an exciting new study!

If you are eligible to participate, you and your partner will come to our lab for two 3.5 hour sessions.  During these sessions, you and your partner will have a discussion and we will ask you questions about your relationship, your mood, and your health behaviors.  We will measure your cardiovascular function, take saliva samples to measure a hormone called cortisol, and test your skins ability to heal after a minor skin irritation.  Compensation is up to $200 per couple.

Requirements include:
- Dating at least 3 months, spend the night with each other at least 2 nights a week.
- Healthy (no current physical or emotional illness, no alcohol or drug abuse, and no current skin disease such as eczema, psoriasis, or atopic dermatitis)
- Not allergic to tape or other adhesives
