We are looking for adults ages 18-65 with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (ASD included) who take antipsychotic medication and are overweight or obese to participate in a research study at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto. The goal of this study is to see if a medication called metformin can help you lose weight and improve your physical health. As a participant, you will be given streamlined enrollment into the CAMH Metabolic Clinic and invited to monthly online group workshops that focus on healthy living put on by CAMH’s Azrieli Adult Neurodevelopmental Centre. Participation is voluntary and you will be compensated.
If you are interested in participating or would like to learn more, please contact Maria, the study’s research coordinator at maria.papoulias@camh.ca or
give her a call at 416-535-8501 ext 39365. CAMH REB #024/2022.
