We seek a part-time licensed providers to join our group. We value our collaborative, interdisciplinary approach to providing care to a wide range of child, adolescent, and adult patients, and are open to psychiatrists, psychologists, applied behavior analysts, SLPs, or MFTs. ABCD has a wide referral base and provides a collegial work environment with reception and bookkeeping/billing support. Health insurance and retirement plans are available for individual enrollment once a trial period is completed. If interested, please contact Dr. Brian Neville at bnev...@abcdseattle.com or Dr. Madeline Frank at mfr...@abcdeattle.com.
With nearly $290M of new funding for seven years to research institutions around the country, the National Institutes of Health renewed its commitment to the Adolescent Brain Cognitive DevelopmentSM Study (ABCD Study) the largest long-term study of brain development and child health ever conducted in the United States.
All data access information is documented on the NDA ABCD Featured Dataset page and includes pointers to an external ABCD Study wiki where data release notes and general information about the data resource are provided. All users should review the release notes for detailed information on the released data. Note that with the change to how release notes are made available, they will be updated regularly and thus users are advised to check -notes/start-page.html for the most up-to-date information. Release notes for qualified users only (i.e., non-public) are available at =2147. The 5.0 data ontology and dictionary can be viewed at -dict.abcdstudy.org/.
The table below highlights key differences between the 4.0 and 5.0 data releases. Note that the Data Exploration and Analysis Portal (DEAP) has been decommissioned as of June 1, 2023. In addition, study creation no longer works with how the data are shared this year. We anticipate reinstating it with the 6.0 data release.
This special issue of ChildArt introduces the intersection of the arts and neuroscience through an overview of the ABCD Study. It presents some of the data from the study, as well as other research looking at the impact of the arts on child development. The issue combines the work of experts in neuroscience, world renowned artists, specialists in child development, and others. Topics covered include the juncture between the arts and human culture, the developing adolescent brain, the interaction between cultural and biological processes and artistic creation, the interface of the arts and science as a multisensory experience, insights from the neuroscience of dance and music, and more. We hope that this special issue will stimulate creativity and innovation in research on the impact of the arts on child development as well as encourage researchers to leverage the ABCD Study data to advance research on a wide range of other topics.
Please note: The ABCD study is assessing brain development in children throughout adolescence, while tracking social, behavioral, physical and environmental factors that may affect brain development and other health outcomes. Screen time is only one of many measures evaluated as part of the study protocol.
For an overview of how the ABCD study got started, see article co-authored by NIDA Director Dr. Nora Volkow, NIAAA Director Dr. George Koob, NINDS Director Dr. Walter Koroshetz, and other NIH scientists: The conception of the ABCD study: From substance use to a broad NIH collaboration, published in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience.
While a neighborhood might have deficits like boarded-up storefronts and unemployment, McKnight realized that it also had untapped assets including the skills of local residents and the local clubs and associations, as well as small businesses. He found these local assets could contribute to making the neighborhood a better place if they were asked.
John McKnight is professor emeritus of education and social policy and co-director of the Asset-Based Community Development Institute. More information on ABCD can be found on its website, abcdinstitute.org.
