Participants between the ages of 35 and 65 are needed for this study. The purpose of the study is to fill in what we don’t know about how schizophrenia affects people as they get older. We want to find out what we can do to help older individuals with schizophrenia live better lives. The study includes 4 visits over the course of two weeks. The screening visit will take 2 hours. The first study visit will take 3 hours. The second study visit will take 2 hours. The third study visit will take 9 hours. This study will include: a clinical interview, cognitive batteries, questionnaires and assessments related to your daily and psychiatric functioning, two 90 minute MRI scans of your brain, a fasting blood draw, and a urine drug screen and pregnancy test (for females). Compensation is up to $310. TO SEE IF YOU QUALIFY PLEASE CONTACT (205) 934-8203.

If you experience urine leakage and you are 65 years or older, you may qualify for the study.

We are assessing whether hip exercises can improve pelvic floor muscle strength and urinary leakage.

You will serve as a “control.” At the visit, you will undergo a routine examination (10 minutes) for urinary leakage and answer questionnaires (10-15 minutes).

You will come to clinic for two visits.

$100 ($50 at each visit) compensation will be provided.

For more information, please call 205.934.5498.
