Understanding how negative experiences, sleep, and neighborhood affect substance use in young people

What this research studies
We want to understand why some young people start using substances, especially when they feel treated unfairly because of who they are. This project explores how factors like sleep patterns and the environment of a child's neighborhood might protect them or make them more vulnerable. By looking at information from a large national group of children and adolescents, we hope to find ways to support young people's health. This knowledge could help develop programs that reduce the impact of negative experiences on substance use.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: This project uses existing data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, focusing on children and adolescents from late childhood to middle adolescence.
Not a fit: Patients not within the age range of late childhood to middle adolescence, or those not part of the ABCD study, would not directly benefit from this specific data analysis.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could help create programs that support young people and reduce their risk of substance use by addressing factors like sleep and neighborhood environment.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific combination of factors is being explored, previous research has shown that social experiences, sleep, and environment can all influence adolescent health and substance use.
