Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will track up to 600 young adults (ages 18 to 29) for a two-year period, collecting variables such as gambling behavior, drug and alcohol use, psychiatry and medical history, family history, impulsivity, quality of life, self-esteem, and cognition. For some individuals who meet criteria as being impulsive, they will be randomized to receive an intervention to help reduce their impulsivity.
