ABSCAN Cannabis Study

With support from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), our researchers are aiming to improve our understanding of brain development in adolescents 15-18 with and without cannabis use disorder. Participation will involve 9 visits across 7 weeks and participants will be compensated for their time. Visits will involve the following:

• Questionnaires
• Clinical Interviews
• Cognitive Tasks
• Functional MRI scan
• Urine Samples

Participation in this study will allow us to answer questions such as:

• What happens to the brain when teens stop using cannabis for a short period of time?
• How does adolescent brain development change among teens who use cannabis vs those who have never used cannabis? 
• What behavioral factors are common among teens with cannabis use disorder?
