We are seeking healthy female Black Non-Hispanic and White Hispanic control participants who are of normal weight (BMI 18.5-24.9) for a study that is being held by the New York Obesity Nutrition Research Center at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) and focuses on eating behavior. In this study, you will be asked to visit CUMC to complete several tasks, including answering questionnaires about your feelings and emotions, completing computerized tasks to assess your attitudes toward different foods, and sample small amounts of different beverages. You will also be asked to eat chocolate Ensure until you are so full that you cannot eat any more, and to mark lines showing how you feel during the meal. If we determine that you are eligible based on your responses to this form, you will receive an email with additional eligibility questions. After we review your responses, you may be scheduled to come in for a screen day. The purpose of the screen day is to ensure that you are fully eligible for the study. You will receive $50 for the screen day whether or not you qualify. If you are eligible to continue, you will be contacted to schedule the second day and you will receive $75 for the trial day. You will also be contacted to complete a 3-month follow-up visit, for which you will receive $125. Upon completion of the study, you will receive up to $250 for your involvement.
