Congratulation to CTBH Research Team member Dr. Jacob Borodovsky on receiving an R21 award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)! In this project, Clarifying the Relations Among Youth Technology Use, Substance Use and Mental Health, Jake and colleagues plan to develop a new, empirically derived model of adolescent digital technology use, substance use, and mental health.
The resulting model will quantify the magnitude and direction of interrelations among key variables and identify the environmental conditions that meaningfully alter probabilities of adolescent outcomes.
