Health Communication for those 65 and older - Local to Champaign - Urbana, IL

Researchers at the University of Illinois are conducting a study on how technology can be used to help us understand, remember, and use information to improve our own health. You will spend about 2 hours doing several tasks, including listening to health-related passages presented on a computer monitor and answering questions about the information. The study involves two one-hour sessions on successive days.

Research takes place at the UIUC McKechnie Family LIFE Home . The LIFE Home is located just off campus (75 Bailey Drive, Champaign) with plenty of parking. It can also be reached by the 14 (Navy) and 24 (Link) MTD bus routes.

If you are interested, please contact Lalit Kudikala by email or call (309)550-2055 and leave a message with your name, number, and the best time to reach you.

You will receive $20 for participating and scheduling is flexible.
