Participants are needed by the Department of Nutrition Science to study the effects of food form on metabolism.

The principal investigator for the study is Richard Mattes, Distinguished Professor of Nutrition Science.

Men and women ages 18-60, overweight but generally in good health, who enjoy foods containing chocolate and who are interested in participating in this study should contact Josh at [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>. Participants may earn up to $200 in 14 weeks.

Participation in this study involves 1 screening visit, 9 study visits, and drop-in visits for 10 consecutive weekdays, all at your customary lunchtime.  The study will take 12 weeks to complete. The initial screening visit should take about 20 minutes and will involve sampling 4 chocolate-flavored snacks, measuring your height and weight, and answering questionnaires about your attitudes and behaviors towards eating.

If you meet the pre-set eligibility criteria, you will come in for 4 visits which will take approx 90 minutes. There will then be a 2-week period where you will drop by the lab at your lunchtime for 10 consecutive weekdays.  The final 5 visits after this will then take place.

On the nine visit days you will eat a chocolate flavored snack.  For the next hour you will answer questionnaires and complete a weight guessing task.  You will then eat macaroni and cheese until comfortably full.  A variety of measurements, questionnaires, and assessments will be completed at study visits.  You will be asked to record your hunger and other attributes on a PDA every hour after you leave the lab until you go to bed each visit day.  You will also record any food and beverage you consume between your visit and bedtime.

Compensation for this study is $200.  If you are interested in participating, please complete the online screening questionnaire (click the "Participant in a Study" link at www.cfs.purdue.edu/lsis<http://www.cfs.purdue.edu/lsis>) and return the "Food Form Questionnaire" by e-mail (see attached).

After the questionnaires are evaluated, you will be contacted and informed if you are or are not eligible.  If you are eligible, we will schedule a screening appointment.

Please e-mail me if you have any further questions.

Thanks,
Josh
