Enrollment: 10
Study Start Date: February 2009
Study Completion Date: April 2010
Primary Completion Date: April 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Active drug
Single arm study, all receive active drug
Drug: Sertraline
Single dose of 100mg sertraline
