Description
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), in collaboration with other NIH Institutes and Centers, intends to renew support for the Data Analysis, Informatics and Resource Center, and Coordinating Center for the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. The ABCD Study is the largest long-term investigation of brain development and child/adolescent health in the U.S., tracking nearly 12,000 participants from ages 9–10 into adulthood. This renewal will extend the study for an additional five years, allowing researchers to follow participants into their emerging adulthood—a critical period for the onset of substance use disorders, mental health conditions, and other health outcomes. The study leverages advanced technologies, including brain imaging and wearable sensors, to explore how young adult experiences and behaviors interact with biological changes to influence health, cognition, and development.
