Participants who complete the whole study will receive $100 in the form of an Amazon gift card. Additional reimbursement for participants traveling over 10 miles to the in-person visit is available. Over 250 young black adults in Dallas have already participated in the study, and we'd love for you to participate and share your experiences as well.
