Title: Substance Dependent Adolescents: Imaging Risk-Taking
The objective of this research is to better understand whether substances diminish the capacity to inhibit behavior by altering brain processing of risky decisions, or do pre-existing, anatomically-based variations of brain processing produce risk-taking propensities, or both.

Title: Martial Arts As Early Intervention for Teen Drug Abuse
This is a Stage 1A/1B behavioral therapies development grant with the primary aims of developing a manualized early intervention for adolescent substance abuse (based on traditional martial arts) and then conducting a pilot study in order to estimate the effect size of the intervention and provide information for estimating power for a larger randomized controlled trial.

Title: The Increasing Disparity In Illegal Drug Use Across Socioeconomic Strata
This project focuses on the increasing disparity in illegal drug use/dependence across socioeconomic strata in recent decades, seeking first to document socioeconomic trends in drugs other than cocaine and update socioeconomic trends in illegal drug use past 1998. Second, the project will evaluate changes in the prevalence of illegal drugs over time and also changes in the characteristics of illegal drug users over time using a "Diffusion of Innovation" framework. Finally, the project will trace the extent to which the key predictors of illegal drug use have their roots in the early life course.
