Overview
The goal of this observational study is to learn more about changes in health, wellness, and substance-use behaviors as teenagers get older. Participants, ages 13 to 16, will be asked to use a smartphone application developed for this research study. Participants will also come to Brown University or meet via video conference to answer questions about specific behaviors, choices, and feelings that may change over time.
Interventions
- Other Cue reactivity paradigm
Participants will be exposed to cues in a fixed sequence while they answer questions about their emotions and thoughts. The cues will include everyday items (e.g., an ink pen) and substance-related items (e.g., a vape pen).
Primary outcome measures
- Maximum subjective craving during cannabis cue exposure (rated on a 0 to 10 scale). [Time frame: Baseline, 1 year, 2 years]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Maximum subjective positive effects of cannabis use in daily life (rated on a 0 to 10 scale). [Time frame: Baseline, 1 year, 2 years]
