National Consortium on Alcohol and Neurodevelopment in Adolescence - Adulthood (NCANDA-A)
The NCANDA consortium consists of multiple components within the United States, including an administrative component at the University of California (UC) San Diego, a data integration component at SRI International, and five data collection sites: Duke University, Oregon Health & Sciences University, SRI International, the University of Pittsburgh, and UC San Diego. The sample is a high-risk enhanced community sample of 831 individuals recruited at ages 12 through 21. Participants completed a baseline assessment in 2013, then underwent annual follow-up assessments in an accelerated longitudinal design. One parent of each youth completes an annual interview on the youth and family environment.
