West Virginia University researchers are recruiting volunteers for a randomized study examining how cannabidiol (CBD) affects driving performance, cognition and sedation.
The university’s School of Public Health announced the recruitment effort September 7. Toni Marie Rudisill, an associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, is leading the research.
Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive CBD or a placebo before completing cognitive assessments and driving simulations. Researchers hope the findings will help inform public safety initiatives as CBD products become more widely used.
Volunteers must be healthy adults ages 18–30 with a current driver’s license who have driven within the past 30 days. They must undergo drug screening and arrange transportation home after testing.
People who have used CBD in the past 30 days, smoke, vape, use tobacco or illicit drugs, or are pregnant or breastfeeding are ineligible. Daily prescription medications other than birth control also exclude participation.
Participants who complete the study will receive a $100 Visa gift card and breakfast. Those interested can contact Cindy Fisher-Duda at cindy.fisher@hsc.wvu.edu.
