​The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study is the largest (with a planned enrollment of 11,000 individuals ages 9-10) longitudinal study of its kind ever conducted.  The recruitment for this 23-site study started in September of 2016; so far approximately 1400 participants age 9-10 have been enrolled in the study.  The Coordinating Site has released some initial data to the participating sites for preliminary analyses.  LIBR will present some very basic characterization of the participants in comparison to the other ABCD sites.  The presentation will have a particular emphasis on gaming and internet activities.  This will include a review of what is known about the influence of gaming on the brain and brain development.  We also welcome questions from the audience during and after the presentation.

​Florence Breslin will present an overview of adolescent drug and alcohol use and abuse around the country and here in Oklahoma. The key themes of the talk are: (a) the real statistics of use to reduce the “not my child” ideology, (b) the effects of use on the developing brain, and (c) how to talk to your child about why to avoid drugs and alcohol.
 
Ms. Breslin is the Child and Adolescent Clinical Assessment Manager at LIBR.  She studied biology and genetics at Niagara University and obtained her Masters in biology and addiction at the University of Virginia.  Ms. Breslin is a Certified Clinical Research Professional with publications in genetics, pre-clinical addiction and neuroimaging.  In January of 2015, Ms. Breslin joined LIBR as the study coordinator for the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, a landmark nation-wide study of adolescent brain development funded by the National Institutes of Health.
