Research project funded by NIDA to study genetic, neural, and environmental factors affecting treatment outcomes in adolescent substance use, involving neuroimaging, genetics, and clinical data collection, with training in advanced neuroscience and genetics methods.
Description
This K23 proposal integrates research and training to characterize how genetic, neural, and environmental risk factors impact treatment outcomes for adolescents using substances and engaged in related externalizing behaviors. The project aims to identify neural networks and genetic and environmental factors related to externalizing outcomes, examine Multisystemic Therapy's impact on neurobiological indices, and assess how genetic and environmental risks are associated with treatment outcomes.
