About Us
The Binghamton Student Managed Adderall Research Team (B-SMART) was founded in the Fall of 2018. The group originally consisted of Health and Wellness students who, under the mentorship of Dr. Lina Begdache, an Associate Professor, aimed to understand the causes and extent of the study drug epidemic on college campuses. B-SMART is a student-run research group that comprises undergraduate students from diverse disciplines, including biology, neuroscience, and health sciences. Their primary research focuses on understanding the causes and extent of non-medical Adderall and substance use among college students, examining its effects on mental health, nutrition, and neurobehavioral outcomes. B-SMART is also actively engaged in outreach through seminars, presentations, and community events to educate the public about our research and the dangers associated with illicit Adderall and substance use, along with promoting healthy lifestyle habits. Through their involvement with B-SMART, these undergraduate researchers have had the opportunity to attend local and national conferences, contribute to published work, and provide a meaningful impact on their community.
