This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the federal Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $720,763 to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) to investigate the risk and protective factors associated with substance use trajectories in adolescents. The 4-year study will leverage data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, which includes a large, nationwide sample of over 11,000 youth, as well as longitudinal twin family samples from four university sites with expertise in genetic epidemiology. The research aims to understand how demographic, environmental, and psychological factors, such as internalizing/externalizing behaviors and reward sensitivity, influence the transition from substance use initiation to regular or heavy use, while accounting for potential genetic confounds. The findings are expected to inform the timing and focus of prevention efforts targeting adolescent substance use.
