The QBC study: Quality of Life and
Biomarkers in Communities
We are looking for volunteers to participate in our study on how people respond to oil and gas
development in their communities! Your participation should take no more than 1 hour at a time

During the office visits, we will ask questions about your health, collect height and weight data,
measure blood pressure and blood vessel health, collect a blood sample, collect a small hair
sample, and collect cheek cells from the inside of your mouth with a swab. You will be
compensated with a $30.00 Visa gift card for each visit completed.
