About this study

If so, you may be able to participate in a 1-visit research study to help find out if people who take ADHD medications have elevated salt levels in their sweat (called sweat chloride levels). Compensation provided and parking will be validated.
What you’ll do
This study involves one in-person visit that will last about 1.5 hours. Participation includes completing questionnaires and having sweat collected. Sweat collection involves attaching a small device and an electrode to your arm or leg, which allows the technician to apply a weak electrical current to stimulate sweating.
