* 1. This online pre-screen survey is for the Meal plan Study at Clinical Nutrition Research Center, Illinois Institute of Technology.

If you are interested in this study, please complete the pre-screen survey questions in order to find out if you meet the pre-criteria before coming for an on-site screening visit. There are no right or wrong answers. We appreciate your time.

We are particularly interested in understanding how diets that incorporate certain foods influence your body’s ability to metabolize blood sugar and blood lipids, like cholesterol, and help blood move through your body, including your eyes, and into your brain to help you think better.  

The procedures in this pre-screen survey do not involve any known risks. Participation is voluntary; at any time you may discontinue this survey. You will not be compensated for this pre-screen survey but will be compensated once you are eligible for and complete the on-site screening visit, and other study visits.

Confidentiality will be maintained to the degree permitted by the technology used.
Your participation in this online survey involves risks similar to a person’s everyday use of the Internet.
Any information that we learn about you that can be traced to you will be used responsibly and will be protected against release to unauthorized persons.

If you met the pre-eligible criteria based on this survey, we will contact you for on-site screening visit. For the on-site screening, you will be asked to be fasting for at least 10 hours. During this time, we will ask that you do not eat or drink anything BUT water. We also ask that you drink water before arriving at our research center for your screening visit. It is important that you are fasting because we will be measuring your blood sugar levels at your on-site screening visit.
