Uni seeks candidates for schizophrenia drug test (UK)

ECCENTRIC people, those who believe in the supernatural and others who keep to themselves are being invited to be part of a study.

Oxford and Manchester universities are collaborating in efforts to find a new treatment for schizophrenia. Anyone interested and aged between 18 and 45 should fill out a 74-question survey, the universities say.

They could then be invited to Oxford University’s research centres for further testing and receive up to £340 for taking part.

The universities will examine how a single dose of the new schizophrenia treatment affects healthy subjects while they complete computer tests.
