If you are deemed eligible during your pre-screening (preliminary) evaluation, we will schedule you for a screening appointment. During this visit, you will participate in an informed consent session as well as the following medical assessments/measurements (these may vary based on the study requirements): body mass index (BMI), electrocardiogram (ECG)*, blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, physical examination, medical history review, alcohol test, blood test(s), urine test(s).

*ECG: An ECG (electrocardiogram) records the electrical activity of your heart. It provides information about your heart rate and rhythm.

If you are deemed eligible based on the results of your medical screening visit, you will contacted by the Results Coordinator. We will usually call you within 5 business days of your medical screening appointment. This may vary.

If you are assigned to a study, you will need to be prepared for your visits. This requires you to be available for the study visits based on the dates and times listed in the study schedule, following the study restrictions and arriving at the site in a timely manner with your personal belongings.

You will receive the full study compensation upon completion of all the study visits. This compensation may be broken down into partial payments depending on the overall duration of the study. Penalties and deductions may be applied for lateness, missed visits or non-compliances (as outlined in the Informed Consent Form). The compensation is provided on a pro-rated basis (i.e. you will be compensated for all completed visits according to the payment schedule).
