Behaviour, Executive function in Adolescents with Conduct disorders (BEACON)

The project uses a repeated measures cohort design to investigate the association between deficits in executive function and violent or risky behaviours in early adolescence (11-13 years) by collecting repeated measures from 1,300 adolescents and their parents.
