Objective: During adolescence, neurobiological maturation occurs concurrently with social and interpersonal changes, including the initiation of alcohol other substance use. The National Consortium on Alcohol NeuroDevelopment in Adolescence (NCANDA) is designed to disentangle complex relationships between onset, escalation, desistance use changes neurocognitive functioning neuromaturation. Method: A sample 831 youth, ages 12–21 years, was recruited at five sites across United States,...
Objective: The authors sought evidence for altered adolescent brain growth trajectory associated with moderate and heavy alcohol use in a large national, multisite, prospective study of adolescents before after initiation appreciable use. Method: This examined 483 (ages 12–21) drinking 1 2 years later. At the 2-year assessment, 356 participants continued to meet study’s no/low consumption entry criteria, 65 had initiated drinking, 62 drinking. MRI was used quantify regional cortical white...
An important 2019 paper applied a novel analytic technique called Specification Curve Analysis (SCA) to data from three large-scale community samples investigate the association between adolescent technology use and mental health/well-being. The concluded that an exists but is tiny, with median betas -0.01 -0.04. This was reported be smaller than links health various innocuous variables in datasets such as eating potatoes, therefore of no practical significance. current re-ran SCA on same...
Brain structural development continues throughout adolescence, when experimentation with alcohol is often initiated. To parse contributions from biological and environmental factors on neurodevelopment, this study used baseline National Consortium Alcohol NeuroDevelopment in Adolescence (NCANDA) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, acquired 674 adolescents meeting no/low or drug use criteria 134 exceeding criteria. Spatial integrity of images across the 5 recruitment sites was assured by...
The use of psychotropic substances has negative short- and long-term health outcomes, including complex direct indirect effects on sleep sleep-cardiovascular function. Here, we investigate daily relationships between self-reported substance objective measures sleep-related heart rate (HR) in community-dwelling young adults. Fifty-five healthy adults (Mage = 23.1 ± 2.29 y, 30 female) the National Consortium Alcohol Neurodevelopment Adolescence (NCANDA) study completed a 28-day ecological...
The authors examined life stress and self-efficacy as predictors of time to relapse for 113 adults with comorbid major depressive disorder alcohol and/or substance dependence in a randomized clinical trial comparing 2 psychotherapy interventions (integrated cognitive- behavioral therapy 12-step facilitation therapy). Life stress, self-efficacy, use were assessed at treatment entry, 12 weeks (mid-treatment), 24 (end treatment). Time was defined the number days from initiation until first drug...
Previously, Anderson, Ramo, Cummins, and Brown (2010) described six distinct patterns of alcohol other drug (AOD) use during the decade following adolescents' treatment for substance disorders (A/SUD). This time period represents a phase significant neurodevelopment, influence on brain is concern. In present study, we examined neuropsychological function over these 10 years in relation to AOD trajectories identified youth as they transition into their twenties. Participants were part...
To investigate development of cognitive and motor functions in healthy adolescents to explore whether hazardous drinking affects the normal developmental course those functions.Participants were 831 recruited across 5 United States sites National Consortium on Alcohol NeuroDevelopment Adolescence 692 met criteria for no/low alcohol exposure, 139 exceeded thresholds. Cross-sectional, baseline data collected with computerized traditional neuropsychological tests assessing 8 functional domains...
Adolescent screen usage is ubiquitous and influences development behavior. Longitudinal data coupled with psychometrically valid constructs of problematic behaviors can provide insights into these relationships. We describe methods by which the questionnaire was developed in Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, demonstrate longitudinal changes via child report harmonization baseline-year 2. further include psychometric analyses adapted social media video game addiction scales completed...
The authors compared longitudinal treatment outcomes for depressed substance-dependent veterans (N = 206) assigned to integrated cognitive-behavioral therapy plus standard pharmacotherapy (ICBT + P) or 12-step facilitation (TSF P). Drug and alcohol involvement depressive symptomology were measured at intake 3-month intervals during up 1 year posttreatment. Participants in both conditions showed decreased depression substance use from intake. ICBT P participants maintained improvements over...
Abstract Youth screen media activity is a growing concern, though few studies include objective usage data. Through the longitudinal, U.S.-based Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, youth (m age = 14; n 1415) self-reported their typical smartphone use and passively recorded three weeks of via ABCD-specific Effortless Assessment Research System (EARS) application. Here we describe validate passively-sensed keyboard app measures, provide code to harmonize measures across...
This study evaluated the sex-specific association of plasma fetuin-A levels with prevalent and incident type 2 diabetes in community-dwelling older adults.Participants were 684 men 1,058 women (median age, 71 years) whose levels, prevalence, risk factors 1992-1996. The participants followed for through 2010 follow-up, 9 years).Women impaired glucose tolerance had elevated compared normal (P = 0.019), but not fasting glucose. Fetuin-A did vary by status men. There significant interactions sex...
The transition from adolescent to adult cognition and emotional control requires neurodevelopmental maturation likely involving intrinsic functional networks (IFNs). Normal neurodevelopment may be vulnerable disruption environmental insult such as alcohol consumption commonly initiated during adolescence. To test potential IFN maturation, we used resting-state magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) in 581 no-to-low alcohol-consuming 117 moderate-to-high-drinking youth. Functional seed-to-voxel...

To investigate a possible link between cardiovascular risk factors and age-related cognitive decline, the association of 1998 Framingham Cardiac Risk Score (FCRS) with trajectory function test (CFT) performance over an 18 year period was examined in adults 50 years older without clinical heart disease at baseline.Participants were 985 men women who had assessments 3- to 4-year intervals. The FCRS category CFT score using mixed-effects models stratified by sex controlling for age, educational...
