Clinical Trial Summary

This is a multi-site study of adolescents 12-21 years-of-age to evaluate the long and shorter-term effect of adolescent alcohol use on the developing brain.


Clinical Trial 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. ;
