Boca Raton — Florida Atlantic University is conducting a study to gauge the effectiveness of a medication to treat generalized anxiety disorder.

The study is being done through the Charles E. Schmidt College of Biomedical Science's Clinical Research Group and will be led by Dr. Peter Holland. The study will last up to 12 weeks and involve a series of medical and psychiatric evaluations.

The group is seeking volunteers ages 18 to 65 to take part in the study, and participants must meet diagnosis criteria for generalized anxiety disorder.

There are no fees associated with the study, and participants will be reimbursed $45 per visit for transportation expenses. For more information, e-mail [email protected] or call Tracey Thomas at 561-297-0164.
