Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (ABCD)

The ABCD study is an ongoing, longitudinal investigation exploring youth brain development and overall health of children. This study is the largest, long-term research project to collect information about childhood experiences to further see how contexts such as being involved in sports, engaging with social media, sleep patterns, risk-taking behaviors, and more, interact with their development in several domains (i.e., socio-emotional, cognitive, behavioral, physical, etc).

National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002)

The ELS:2002 is a 10-year, longitudinal study that collected information about youth’s [high-schoolers] educational attributes through secondary schooling into post-secondary life stages such as college, workforce, and more. This investigation focused on exploring the trajectories of youth as they crossed varying life stages with an emphasis on how educational attainment and attitudes during secondary schooling influenced future outcomes.
