A clinic keeps posting this on craigslist in the Jobs/ETC section:
Blind Subjects with Sleeping Problems Needed
Time Commitment: 4 office visits
Study Description: Clinilabs needs volunteers like you to participate in a financially compensated research study of an investigational medication for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder in totally blind subjects. If you are blind with no perception of light and have problems sleeping, CALL NOW or visit our website to see if you qualify. This study involves 4 office visits to our clinic over approximately 3 months.
Eligible candidates must:
o Be 18– 64 years of age
o Have good general health
o Have trouble sleeping and/or trouble keeping a regular sleep/wake schedule
Eligible participants may receive:
o Study-related medical examination at no cost
o Study-related medication or placebo at no cost
o Financial Compensation
o Transportation to our clinic
I don't think they are having much luck finding candidates; they have posted this almost everyday for the past few weeks. Hm.. I wonder why?? I'm sure blind people have some way of accessing the internet and surfing it just like you and me, except with a robot that talks or something. But seriously, what is the likelihood that a blind insomniac is going to be online, on craigslist, and looking for a job in the ETC section? Maybe the clinic should try radio spots?
