  • Description: The study was funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and nine other institutes, centers and offices that are part of the National Institutes of Health, using data from the ongoing Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. Recognizing how the stress of the past year translates into substance use has profound implications into adulthood, because drinking and drug use at these ages are associated with a substantially higher risk of long-term alcohol and drug use disorders and related harms,” said NIDA Director Nora D. Volkow, M.D., in announcing the study Aug. 24. “Because the ABCD Study had already been following this diverse, young population, researchers were able to make direct comparisons between trends in substance use before and during the pandemic, emphasizing the value of investing in long-term, collaborative research projects. To fill this gap, the research team conducted three surveys in the six months following the initiation of stay-at-home orders — in May, June and August 2020 — with more than 7,800 ABCD Study participants ages 10 to 14 and their families participating in at least one survey.
