Description
Adolescence brings a surge in anxiety disorders, most of all in girls, and puberty is a prime suspect in that timing. Katherine Bray and co-authors lay out the PANDA study, a protocol designed to test how hormones, stress biology, social settings, and brain function interact in teenagers. The plan recruits 175 adolescents aged eleven to sixteen, mostly female, together with their parents, from the community.
Brain scans include tasks on emotion regulation and fear learning, two processes tied to anxiety. Hormones are tracked through hair samples for cortisol and repeated saliva samples across a month for the sex hormones, a design that captures natural swings. Questionnaires and interviews cover mental health, parenting, and hard childhood experiences, timed to when they happened. A questionnaire-only online arm added 113 teenagers during the pandemic. The authors present the protocol as a template for untangling why anxiety takes root in adolescence.
