What was the fab study?
The FAB study was a 1-month long study looking at what female adolescents and young adults eat and drink. We were interested in understanding how behaviors interact within the individual and to see how family and friends influence these behaviors, too. This study was intensive, so we compensated our participants up to $325 for completion of the study.

We are not currently recruiting for the FAB study. TheFAB study was recruiting 14 - 24 year old women who lived in the Tulsa area.
How did it work?
During the one-month study, we asked participants to wear a special monitor that measures alcohol use. We asked questions about alcohol use and other behaviors. Even if our participants didn’t drink, this information was important for us to collect and verify.
What else was in the study?
Once a week, we collected blood samples through from a finger stick. This blood was analyzed to see nutrients in participants blood. We asked for at least 5 samples of blood over the duration of the study.
