Description
This funding opportunity provides continuation support for the Social Development Sub-study (ABCD-SD) within the broader Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The sub-study aims to incorporate measures of delinquency and victimization at five sites, addressing the interplay between substance use, brain development, delinquency, juvenile justice involvement, and victimization. The grant will support a coordinating center and longitudinal data collection to follow the social development of children into young adulthood, with the intent to fund subsequent waves of data collection through supplemental awards.
