About this listen

This episode explores the latest findings on adolescent alcohol use from two landmark longitudinal studies. We discuss how alcohol-related blackouts (ARBs) predict reduced brain growth, particularly in regions tied to memory, and examine the multi-dimensional predictors of early drinking onset, including personality traits and parental monitoring. Delving into the complex relationships between drinking initiation, brain development, and binge drinking risks, we highlight the importance of early intervention strategies that address both individual and social factors. Tune in for an insightful discussion on promoting healthier developmental outcomes for youth!
