Title of project:
Examining Environmental and Genomic Contributions to Adolescent Risky Behaviors
Proposal summary:
The purpose of this project is to expand the scope of a previous project (B3077) to include a broader range of environmental influences and outcomes pertinent to adolescent development. In this project, environmental influences, particularly during early development, will be examined as predictors of adolescent risk behaviors, such as risky sex, aggressive behavior problems, and delinquency. Genetic and epigenetic contributions will be examined as potential explanations for these associations and/or as controls.
Impact of research:
Expanding the scope of B3077 will allow for greater insights on the environmental and genomic etiology of a broader range of adolescent risk behaviors and their antecedents.
