ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how experiences like trauma and resilience affect physical health in an American Indian community. Researchers want to understand how psychological stress can influence heart and metabolic health. To do this, they are asking volunteers to take part in two laboratory sessions. In the first session, participants will give a blood sample to check their health, answer questions about their background and health, and have their body measurements taken. In the second session, they will relax for a bit and then take part in a short stress test while their heart and other body systems are monitored.
To be eligible for this study, participants must be between 18 and 40 years old, identify as American Indian, and live on or near the Blackfeet reservation. People with uncontrolled high blood pressure cannot participate. This study is a great opportunity for those who qualify to contribute to important research that could help improve health outcomes in their community. If you decide to join, you will help researchers learn more about the connection between stress and health.
