This is a long-term study that involves a commitment from you, including time and effort.  If you do participate in this study, it is likely you will be in the study for about 7-9 months. We want to make sure that you understand the commitment that is involved in taking part in such a study.  

We find that our study is best suited for participants who are truly interested in improving their sleep.  We hope that you consider the principle of participating in the MATRICS study, namely your health: as a participant, regardless of the condition to which you are assigned, you will receive a treatment plan designed to improve your sleep AT NO COST TO YOU. Ideally, we will form a research partnership where you will receive a treatment plan at no cost and we will collect information to test which treatment plan is most effective.

As compensation for your participation, you will receive $20 at the completion of each of the 5 main assessment point visits. Although there are more than 5 instances in which you’ll need to come into the lab, these are the 5 main markers in the study timeline.  So if you complete all the study assessments, you will have received a total of $100.  **Compensation does not begin until after you have completed the entire screening process.** 

We will also cover travel expenses to the lab for every scheduled visit to our lab up to $10, or if you drive, we will provide you with a parking voucher for the garage.

We hope that you take the time to consider our study expectations.  If you decide that this is the right research study for you, please contact us.  We look forward to developing a research partnership with you.
