Adolescent Health and Development in Context (AHDC)
The AHDC study investigated how adolescents’ daily experiences across different geographic and social environments influence their development, behaviour, and well-being. The study enrolled 1,405 adolescents aged 11 to 17 years, along with their caregivers, from Franklin County, Ohio, United States of America. Participants were recruited between 2014 and 2016 using a combination of vendor- and school-based address lists. Data was collected over one week for each participant and was conducted twice: Wave 1 took place from spring 2014 to summer 2016, and Wave 2 ran from January to December 2016. In both waves, data were gathered through surveys, smartphone-based GPS tracking, and ecological momentary assessments.
