Additional Study Information:
Study of shift workers: We are seeking metabolically-healthy women between the ages of 20 and 55 who work day or night shifts (8 hours or more) to participate in a study at CUIMC/NYP. This study will include 4 separate visits (once per week) to the inpatient unit of Presbyterian Hospital, with each visit lasting a full 24 hours. During the visits, all meals will be provided, and various non-invasive assessments will be performed, including sleep monitoring. Compensation of up to $800 is provided for completing the study. Interested individuals that work 8-12 hour shifts on consecutive days or nights and who are free of psychiatric or cardio-metabolic diseases, do not smoke or take medications known to affect appetite, and are not pregnant should contact Faris Zuraikat (fmz2105@cumc.columbia.edu) to learn more about the study.
