Summary
This observational study looks at how structural racism—like unequal access to resources—might affect brain structure, decision-making, and substance use risk in Puerto Rican teens aged 11 to 14. Researchers will interview 72 teens and their parents, and perform brain scans. The goal is to understand these connections, not to test a treatment.
