Description
Duncan B Clark and co-authors recount ten years in 2026 of ethics and medical oversight for the ABCD study, a huge United States youth development study. An advisory group has guided the study from planning to today. Foreseen issues ranged from keeping teen substance use private to reporting brain scan surprises and self-harm risk. Each site keeps a clinician for case-level calls.
Later protocol shifts added return of metabolic results, gene findings, and a bid to read health records. Site plans and shared procedures cover crises and required reporting of maltreatment. A data misuse event was handled with a crisis team. Teens aging into adults now raise fresh consent questions.
