Workgroups and Taskforces

Reviews the current state-of-the-science to recommend appropriate non-imaging measures for inclusion in the protocol considering developmental appropriateness, psychometrics, anticipated stability and change over the study period, harmonization with the larger research literature, articulation with the entire measurement battery, and subject burden. When indicated, the assessment groups make recommendations for modifications to the assessments that might be indicated by new scientific findings, improved technologies, or demonstrated limitations of existing protocols (e.g., decreasing sensitivity to maturing cohort).

Mental Health

Focuses on identifying a core set of measures to obtain information from parents and children on mental health relevant experiences, behaviors, and attitudes, and environmental exposures important for mental health.

NeuroCognition

Neurocognitive measures collectively assess participants’ levels of crystallized and fluid reasoning, reading ability, working memory, behavioral inhibition, verbal learning and memory, sequencing skills, processing speed, attention, and visuospatial reasoning. Measures were selected to maximize data quality across the ten year longitudinal assessment, and to be sensitive to small changes in cognitive efficiency as children move from adolescence into adulthood.

Substance Use

Focuses on assessment of lifetime and recent quantity/frequency and patterns of use of all major drug categories (alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, caffeine, stimulants, ecstasy, depressants/sedatives, opiates, hallucinogens, steroids, and inhalants). Important predictors of substance use are also captured, including peer use, perceived harm of use, disapproval of use, availability of substances and intention to use. Measures were selected to be developmentally-appropriate and gated to: 1) avoid exposing non- or low-using youth to substance use questions; and 2) assess motives, expectancies, symptoms, craving and withdrawal in youth reporting use.

Friends, Family, & Community

Selects measures of socio-cultural and environmental factors that may confer risk or protection to the development of health or mental health problems in youth. Whenever possible, measures are chosen to be brief, appropriate for administration throughout adolescence, and valid across cultures. The domains that are assessed span individual, family, school, and neighborhood factors and include prosocial behaviors, problem solving, independence/self-reliance, acculturation, biculturalism, parental monitoring, parental warmth, family conflict, familism, school environment, and neighborhood safety.

One project will use wearable sensors (e.g., Fitbits) to measure activity, sleep, and other health indicators in youth. Social media use, including mobile applications for data collection, may also be explored in the future.

Retention Data Analysis Subgroup

The purpose of this subgroup is to take a data-driven approach to understanding factors associated with study retention, e.g. predictors of missed visits, and to identify participants most likely to withdraw (either formally or by continually missing visits, i.e. “soft withdrawal”). Analyses undertaken by the Data Core will inform (and be informed by) the other Retention subgroups, who will ultimately provide guidance to the consortium on retention strategies and best practices.
