Alcohol-naive adolescents
A general population longitudinal cohort of alcohol-naïve (or h/o minimal recent-onset drinking) adolescents in three specific age-groups: early (12-14 y/o), middle (15-17 y/o), and late (18-21 y/o).
|
|
Treatment sample
A sample of adolescents who have a >1 year history of heavy drinking but have agreed to stop drinking as part of their treatment plan
|
|
High risk sample
High-risk adolescents who have a family history of alcohol-use disorder and other risk factors (symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Conduct Disorder, or Mood Disorder)
|
Detailed Description:
The overall specific aims of this study are to: 1) assess the short and long-term consequences of alcohol exposure on brain, cognitive, and emotional/regulatory development during preadolescence and adolescence; 2) determine the effects of timing, dose, and duration of alcohol on brain and cognitive development; 3) assess recovery of neural and behavioral function to determine if the plasticity of the adolescent brain makes it more or less vulnerable to alcohol's acute and chronic effects; 4) understand how other key covariates (e.g., existing or emerging psychopathology, family history of alcoholism, demographics, pubertal development) factor into alcohol's effects on the brain; and 5) identify early neural, cognitive, and affective markers that may predict alcohol abuse and dependence during adolescence and/or adulthood.
