Interventions

  • Working Memory Training — BEHAVIORAL
    A multi-session computer-based working memory training program to improve delay discounting and prevent substance use among at-risk adolescents in a traditionally underserved area.
  • Working Memory — BEHAVIORAL
    A multi-session control computer training condition that is designed to not engage working memory among at-risk adolescents in a traditionally underserved area.

Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial is to deliver a computer-based working memory training program to improve delay discounting (DD) and prevent substance misuse among at-risk adolescents in a traditionally underserved area. Results from the study will inform future substance use prevention efforts targeted at youth exposed to adverse childhood experiences. Findings will also refine future models of intervention delivery in traditionally underserved communities. The main aims of the project are are: 1\) To examine to examine changes in hypothesized mechanisms of substance use initiation and escalation, and 2) to assess whether changes in DD are a mechanism for reducing substance misuse during early adolescence. The investigators will evaluate whether changes in DD following active treatment predict substance use outcomes over the three-month follow-up period.

Arms

  • Experimental: Working Memory Training
    The intervention is a computer-based training aimed at improving working memory in order to decrease delay discounting. Active training sessions include: Sequenced Recall of Digits - Auditory, Sequenced Reverse Recall of Digits - Auditory, Sequenced Recall of Digits - Visual, Sequenced Reverse Recall of Digits - Visual, Sequenced Recall of Words - Auditory, Sequenced Recall of Words - Visual, Sequenced Reverse Recall of Words - Auditory, Sequenced Reverse Recall of Words - Visual. Participants will complete at least 10 sessions with each session taking approximately 30 minutes to complete.
  • Active Comparator: Working Memory
    The comparison control condition is a multi-session control computer training condition that is designed to not engage working memory during computer-based engagement sessions: Sequenced Recall of Digits - Auditory, Sequenced Reverse Recall of Digits - Auditory, Sequenced Recall of Digits - Visual, Sequenced Reverse Recall of Digits - Visual, Sequenced Recall of Words - Auditory, Sequenced Recall of Words - Visual, Sequenced Reverse Recall of Words - Auditory, Sequenced Reverse Recall of Words - Visual. Participants will complete at least 10 sessions with each session taking approximately 30 minutes to complete.
