Description: EMAIL ONE OF THE RESEARCHERS FOR MORE INFORMATION AND THE PROVIDE QUESTIONNAIRE. (m.collier2764@leedsbeckett.ac.uk) (O.Horrocks2627@student.leedsbeckett.ac.uk) (c.spriggs2936@student.leedsbeckett.ac.uk) ONCE YOU HAVE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRE, WE CAN SET UP A SLOT TIME FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL SESSION. This study is investigating factors that are associated with electronic cigarettes in young adults. The study will help to inform our understanding of the mechanisms involved in vaping behaviour. This will form part of dissertations in Psychology at Leeds Beckett University. It is important to realise that deciding not to participate will not impact the attainment of student degrees. The first part of the study involves the completion of online questionnaires. The second part will require you to travel to Leeds Beckett University to attend an experimental laboratory session. Participants must: - Be aged 18-35 years old - Be able to fluently understand English - Drink alcohol - Not use any drugs (excluding nicotine and alcohol) more regularly than once a year - Not have a diagnosis of an impulse control disorder (for example, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), pathological gambling, compulsive buying, kleptomania, intermittent explosive disorder, pyromania) - Have normal colour vision. - Not have a history of brain injury Additionally, you must classify as one of the following: - Daily E-cigarette user: You use an e-cigarette containing nicotine daily and have done so for a minimum of 12 months. You must have not smoked more than 10 cigarettes in your lifetime.   - Non-daily E-cigarette user: You use e-cigarettes containing nicotine a minimum of once per month, do not vape daily, and have done so for a minimum of 12 months. You must have not smoked more than 10 cigarettes in your lifetime. What will you do? Pre-experimental questionnaire (Part 1): You will be asked questions about your current and past smoking history, demographic questions regarding age, sex, gender, drug use, diagnosis of psychiatric illness etc. You will then be asked various questions regarding your personality and how you would act in certain situations. This should last 30 minutes and must be completed prior to the experimental lab session. Experimental lab session (Part 2): This will involve taking some biological measures (saliva sample, breathalyser) and also completing various cognitive and behavioural tasks which will measure how impulsively you act, your willingness to work for rewards, your decision making and your level of risk taking. This process will last 45 minutes. Note: All information will be confidential and anonymity will be ensured. Please be aware that you will be able to withdraw at any point, and if there are any parts of the study you do not wish to complete, then you can withdraw from these parts.

IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE AND COMPLETE THE 12-WEEK TRIAL, YOU WILL RECEIVE A £100 VOUCHER. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY? This study is exploring whether taking a daily probiotic supplement called Lab4P can improve cognitive performance (such as memory and concentration) sleep, and aspects of metabolic and physical health in young adults who are overweight and have impaired glucose tolerance (a condition that increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes). WHO CAN TAKE PART IN THE STUDY? We are seeking adults aged 18 to 35 with a body mass index (BMI) between 25.0 and 29.9 kg/m². Eligibility will be confirmed through a health screening questionnaire. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I TAKE PART? If you take part, you’ll first complete a short online questionnaire to check your eligibility. If eligible, you’ll attend five in-person visits over 12 weeks. The first visit confirms your eligibility and includes body measurements, blood samples, and a glucose tolerance test. PLEASE NOTE: ONLY ACCESS THE VISIT 2 LINK ON SONA AFTER YOUR IN-PERSON SCREENING APPOINTMENT, AS YOU WILL BE GIVEN A UNIQUE CONFIRMATION CODE AT THAT TIME. The second visit includes questionnaires, cognitive tasks, ultrasound scans, and a body scan, after which you’ll be randomly assigned to receive either a probiotic or placebo capsule. At Weeks 6, 11, and 12, you’ll repeat similar assessments, including blood tests, questionnaires, scans, and cognitive tasks. You’ll receive 1 SONA point for completing the pre-screening questionnaire, 5 SONA points for attending the screening visit, and a £100 voucher upon completion of the 12-week trial. Providing a stool sample is optional. HOW TO TAKE PART? If you’re interested in joining the study, please complete a short pre-screening questionnaire via Qualtrics using the attached link. The questionnaire includes the full Participant Information Sheet (PIS), which provides detailed information about the study and what taking part involves, as well as a few questions to check whether you meet the eligibility criteria.
