Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study
The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study© is the largest long-term study of brain development and child health in the United States, with 11,880 children between the ages of 9 and 10 having been invited to join the study. The ABCD study is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and is associated with 21 research sites across the country. Researchers seek to explore how childhood experiences interact to affect cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development during adolescence. The goal of the ABCD study is to provide families, schools, professionals, and policy makers with crucial information needed to promote the health, well-being, and success of children.
