Project TAURUS will study how positive and negative aspects of young adults’ lives affect their physical and mental health, with a focus on discrimination. The study will use data from surveys, health measurements, blood samples, and biometric measurements from smartwatches to better understand young adults’ daily experiences, stressful events, and how these might be related to their health. Young adults will receive monetary compensation for participating. Participation in this study will advance the scientific understanding of young adults and their personal experiences in order to improve young people’s well-being.

Our research team is very excited about Project TAURUS, and we look forward to learning important information from the participants in our Austin community!
