Description
Solutions to constantly evolving substance use and mental health crises demand sustainable pipelines of elite investigators with a kaleidoscope of backgrounds, perspectives, and talents. However, there is a lack of diversity among researchers that hinders innovation. The greatest challenges faced by early-stage investigators, particularly those who are Black, Indigenous, or Persons of Color (BIPOC), include access to data, analytical training, and research support. To enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion among the next generation of neuroscientists, investigators with the Adolescent Brain Cognitive DevelopmentSM (ABCD) study recently piloted an intensive research education program titled “Scientific Training in Addiction Research Techniques (START) for gifted future investigators from historically underrepresented and underserved backgrounds” to equip BIPOC scientists to access, analyze, and disseminate data from ABCD study®. The proposed session will highlight work emerging from these scholars with a specific focus on environmental influences (i.e., family conflict, parenting practices, neighborhood risk) on adolescent behavior (i.e., impulsivity, externalizing behavior) and substance use (i.e., alcohol expectancy).
