ICS Fellow Naomi Friedman Publishes New Work on Teen Drug Use Anonymous (not verified) Mon, 03/20/2017 - 09:49

ICS Fellow Dr. Naomi Friedman recently published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology with ŷ��ڱ��Ƶ colleagues on "Executive functions and substance use: Relations in late adolescence and early adulthood."

An article about the work was published in ŷ��ڱ��Ƶ Boulder Today: Teens prone to drug experimentation won’t necessarily become addicted.

The research focused on twins, and showed that twins who demonstrated poor executive function were more likely to experiment with illicit substances as an adolescent, but that did not result in substance abuse or dependence, then or 6 years later.

"Adolescents who lack self-control, have attention deficits, or demonstrate poor “executive function” are more likely to experiment with a greater variety of drugs and alcohol. However, they are not more likely to become dependent as young adults."
