Train Your Brain: A Pilot Project to Improve Memory and Decision Making

Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot a computer-based working memory training program to improve delay discounting (DD) and prevent substance use among at-risk adolescents in a traditionally underserved area. Results from the study will inform future efforts substance use prevention efforts targeted at youth exposed to adverse childhood experiences. Findings will also refine future models of intervention delivery in traditionally underserved communities. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Determine if the intervention can be delivered feasibly, acceptability, and at sufficient dosage * Evaluate the utility of the recruitment and retention procedures as well as identify barriers to participation

Primary Outcome

This measure asks participants to select between a smaller monetary amount available now and a larger monetary amount available at a delay (i.e., 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, and 25 years). K-values, reflecting the indifference points at which participants preference between smaller and larger rewards, are computed. Because k-values are typically skewed, they are log-transformed before analysis. Scores are not bounded with a minimum and maximum value, but higher scores indi
