OKLAHOMA CITY — Dr. Lurdes Queimado, a researcher at the TSET Health Promotion Research Center (HPRC), is looking for individuals age 21 to 35 who smoke or use electronic cigarettes (EC), to participate in a study.

Participants eligible to take part in the study will be compensated.

Two hundred people are being selected for this research study. Each would need to plan for two visits to HPRC Tobacco Regulatory Science lab on the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center campus.

Visits will be scheduled about two weeks apart, with each taking no more than 2 ½ hours. Urine samples and exhaled breath will be taken during both visits.

Participants must provide informed consent and abstain from using all tobacco, EC and nicotine for at least eight hours prior to their visits.

Individuals considering this study should not have used marijuana or illicit drugs during the past three months. ECs are the most used tobacco product among youth. Additionally, they are used by more than 30 percent of adult tobacco smokers.

Interested individuals may take a short survey to see if they qualify. The survey is at https://redcap.link/OUstudy100. Potential participants may also call 405-271-8001 ext. 47917 or email [email protected].
