Purpose

The goal of this observational study is to learn more about changes in health, wellness, and substance-use behaviors as teenagers get older. Participants, ages 13 to 16, will be asked to use a smartphone application developed for this research study. Participants will also come to Brown University or meet via video conference to answer questions about specific behaviors, choices, and feelings that may change over time.
