There are significant gaps in our
knowledge of the physiological, behavioral and environmental (e.g.,
physical and social) influences in the development of obesity and
cardiovascular disease, substance use, and violence/aggression
during adolescence. Data are needed that integrate behavioral
factors with biological and environmental factors in youth in light
of many recent scientific advances in biological, behavioral and
environmental sciences. Additionally, it is likely that
environmental and psychosocial exposures have changed since the
classic adolescent longitudinal studies. Approval is being sought
for collection of reliable and valid data on changes in health and
health behavior in a cohort of 2,700 U.S. adolescents. The study
will collect information on adolescent health behaviors and social
and environmental contexts for these behaviors annually for four
years beginning in the 2009-2010 school year.
