Scientists scan teen brains to stop risky behavior before it starts
NCT ID NCT03370393
Summary
This study tested how a family-based program affects the developing brain to help prevent risky behaviors in African-American teens. Researchers used brain scans and questionnaires to see if the 6-week program changed how the brain handles rewards and self-control. The goal was to understand the program's biological effects to improve prevention of behaviors linked to HIV, violence, and substance use.
