that follows more than 11,000 young people from the age of 9-10 years, tracking their biological, cognitive and behavioural development into young adulthood. This project presents a unique opportunity to access a rich longitudinal dataset of a size and nature
that would usually be beyond the scope of a PhD. We plan to combine innovative statistical approaches (e.g., latent class analysis and group-based trajectory modelling), with neuroimaging analyses (e.g. fMRI, DTI), to gain novel insights into the interaction
of different factors that predict early drug use. Results could be further used to inform research plans for primary data collection within the PhD.
