Description
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) seeks to continue the National Consortium on Alcohol and Neurodevelopment in Adolescence (NCANDA) to study how adolescent alcohol use affects brain development and function into emerging adulthood. The consortium has longitudinal data on over 800 individuals aged 12 to 32, covering critical periods of alcohol use and brain maturation. This renewal will allow follow-up of participants up to age 37 to understand the impact of early versus late onset drinking on adult behavior. The project aims to inform prevention strategies and early interventions to reduce severe drinking and alcohol use disorder.
