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.

Culture & Environment

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.

The mission of the ABCD JEDI Taskforce is to effect change that ensures and promotes justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) at all levels of ABCD, including within our measures and methods and our organizations and universities affiliated with ABCD, as well as to ensure that ABCD data are used and interpreted with the utmost integrity and in a way as so to prevent further stigmatization, marginalization, or injustice to individuals. To view the JEDI Advisory Council members, click here. And to learn more about the mission and goals of the three JEDI workgroups, click here.

Taskforce Chair:
Bonnie Nagel – Oregon Health & Science University; Email: [email protected]

JEDI Workgroup 1: Equitable & Inclusive Methods

The equitable and inclusive methods workgroup will strive to ensure that all measures and methods used within the ABCD consortium are fair and just to participants of all races, gender, sexual orientation, ability, socioeconomic status, and cultural background.

Workgroup Chair:
Stefanie Bodison – University of Florida; Email: [email protected]

JEDI Workgroup 2: Diversity & Inclusion in ABCD

The mission of the diversity & inclusion workgroup is to better understand the historical, cultural, and institutional racism disproportionately impacting ABCD researchers, staff, and participants who are persons of color, while working to promote anti-racism in our research, organization(s), and universities affiliated with ABCD.

The group intends to achieve its mission by addressing institutional barriers and policies that have perpetuated the cycle of excluding Black and Brown voices in research. We also intend to introduce procedural and structural changes that will promote the innovation, creativity, and excellence produced by diversity in race, ethnicity, gender or sexual identity, class, age, or able-bodiedness, as well as the intersection across aspects.

JEDI Workgroup 3: Responsible Use of ABCD Study Data

This workgroup promotes principles of ethical conduct of research to prevent further stigmatization, marginalization and injustice toward individuals because of racial, ethnic, or gender minority status. It strives to ensure that researchers analyze and interpret ABCD Study data responsibly, considering psychological, social, economic and any other potentially harmful impacts their research could have on individuals, communities and society.

Develops and implements a strategy to effectively engage ABCD stakeholders, promote awareness about the study and its benefits, and encourage participation in the study by developing outreach materials (e.g., website, brochures, recruitment letters, videos), identifying vehicles and influencers to amplify our message to further raise awareness, and working with the Coordinating Center to monitor site outreach to identify gaps and propose solutions when needed. The group also coordinates the dissemination of study findings to stakeholders and constituents as they are available.

Coordinates the COVID-19 Rapid Response Research data collection, workflow, quality control, analysis, and dissemination of findings pertaining to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the ABCD cohort. In March 2020, when our participants were ages 11-13, the world became substantially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to an upheaval in the economy and the lives of almost every family. This project surveys all ABCD participants and their parents about the pandemic’s impact of them over the months of school closures, job loss, disease spread, and, potentially, recovery. Additional data are collected from a brief questionnaire in the annual protocol and a subset of participants who wore Fitbit activity monitors for the first 4 months of the pandemic. Active March 2020 – present.
