In this study, we want to identify biological characteristics in children ages 12-14 who experience anxiety that may increase their risk for substance use over time.
At each visit, you will complete some questionnaires about your family background and your child's behavior, psychological state, and lifestyle. Your child will also complete questionnaires and thinking tasks, and a mild stress test while we measure heart rate, electrical activity in the skin and stress hormones. We will also do imaging of their brain while performing cognitive computer games.
Up to $225 for parents and up to $480 for youth if all procedures and visits are completed.
