Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Optimal single-dose of CHI-907 to reduce test anxiety | The test session visit is 3.5 hours long. | Subjects will report their level of test anxiety using the State Test Anxiety Visual Analog Scale (STAI-VAS) pre-test, mid-test, and post-test. The STAI-VAS is a measure from 0 (not anxious at all) to 100 (anxious). |
| Minimal single-dose of CHI-907 to reduce test anxiety | The test session visit is 3.5 hours long. | Subjects will report their level of test anxiety using the State Test Anxiety Visual Analog Scale (STAI-VAS) pre-test, mid-test, and post-test. The STAI-VAS is a measure from 0 (not anxious at all) to 100 (anxious). |
