ABCD Study at the University of Colorado
The University of Colorado is one of 21 institutions nationwide that recruited families to participate in the ABCD Study. We enrolled 215 twin families from the Front Range and around Colorado, in addition to 120 families with 9 and 10 year-old children from the Denver/ Boulder area. We are following these research participants through their adolescent years and into young adulthood, to better understand the influence of health and risk factors on brain development.
Families in the ABCD Study complete their assessments at the Center for Innovation and Creativity (CINC), located at 1777 Exposition Drive in Boulder.
Thank you so much for your involvement in ABCD! For any questions or to schedule your next visit, please call or text us at 303-335-9070 or email us at abcd@colorado.edu.
