ABCD-USA Consortium: Coordinating Center

项目总结 在此，我们请求资金继续努力，以实现以下扩大原来范围的扩大目标 ABCD研究的一部分： ·解决有关性别认同、性认同和性健康可能发挥的作用的重要问题 在修改ABCD中衡量的重要健康、精神健康和其他结果方面。 ·增强ABCD回答有关青少年性健康的重要问题的能力， 特别是关于性别和性行为的规范轨迹。 为了实现这一点，ABCD财团对研究的设计进行了修改，增加了 有时开发新的测量方法，在发育敏感和发育的情况下 ABCD研究参与者的知情态度、性别认同、性认同和性健康。 需要对多个领域的研究评估进行持续评估，以确保研究 充分捕获性和性别少数群体参与者可能增加的风险。 补充资金已经建立了性别认同和性健康(GISH)工作组 来自ABCD调查员小组、NIH和CDC的成员。该工作组的职能与其他专家相同 负责与CC、DAIRC和其他部门进行一系列特定交互的工作组 财团内外的咨询和监督小组。在提案中，我们描述了CC- DAIRC-生成、评估、集成、监控、更新、解释和 共享在ABCD研究中收集的所有数据。持续的议定书修订需要持续资金，以 改进ABCD中对性别和性倾向的衡量，确保建议的有效性和年轻人接受 协议修订，并抵消将这些评估纳入当前 JOU JOU学习设计。今年的资金包括股权审计(研究计划中详细说明)，其中 来自芝加哥大学NORC的合同SGM学者将与GISH工作组合作审查 ABCD协议，从JOU利益相关者收集信息，并准备一份报告通知财团 性少数群体和性别少数群体参与者有可能经历不同的礼仪领域。 这项工作旨在为未来从非ABCD青少年收集定性数据(焦点小组)提供信息 (对SGM青少年进行过抽样)关于改善数据的GISH措施和其他已确定的议定书内容 收集方法。

PROJECT SUMMARY Here we request funds to continue work to pursue the following augmented aims that expand the original scope of the ABCD study: • Address important questions about the possible roles of gender identity, sexual identity, and sexual health in modifying important health, mental health, and other outcomes measured in ABCD. • Enhance the capacity within ABCD to answer important questions about sexual health in adolescents, particularly about normative trajectories of gender and sexuality. To accomplish this, the ABCD consortium has made modifications to the design of the study adding, and sometimes developing, new methods for measuring, in a developmentally sensitive and developmentally informed manner, the gender identity, sexual identity, and sexual health of participants in the ABCD study. Ongoing evaluation of the study assessments across multiple domains are needed to ensure that the study adequately captures risks that may be increased in sexual and gender minority participants. The supplemental funding has established the Gender Identity and Sexual Health (GISH) workgroup with membership from the ABCD investigator group, NIH, and CDC. This workgroup functions like other expert workgroups in ABCD with responsibility for a specific set of interactions with the CC, DAIRC, and other advisory and oversight groups within and external to the consortium. In the proposal, we describe the CC - DAIRC-workgroup interactions required to generate, evaluate, integrate, monitor, update, interpret, an d share all data collected within the ABCD Study. Continued funding is needed for ongoing protocol revision to improve measurement of gender and sexuality in ABCD, ensuring the validity and youth acceptance of proposed protocol revisions, and to offset costs to the centers and sites of including these assessments within the current ABCD study design. This year’s funding includes an equity audit (detailed in the research plan), where contract SGM scholars from NORC at the University of Chicago, will work with the GISH workgroup to review the ABCD protocol, gather information from ABCD stakeholders, and prepare a report informing the consortium of protocol areas that have the potential to be experienced differently by sexual and gender minority participants. This work is intended to inform future qualitative data collection (focus-groups) from non-ABCD adolescents (oversampling SGM adolescents) on the GISH measures and other identified protocol elements to improve data collection methods.
