Purpose: To examine the association between multiple dimensions of gender diversity and physical activity (daily steps) in a diverse national sample of early adolescents in the United States.
Methods: This study analyzed Year 2 data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study (N = 6038, M=12.0 years).

- The study analyzed data from 8006 early adolescents to assess how different types of screen time relate to substance use experimentation over one year.
- Increased overall screen time, especially on social media, texting, and video chatting, was linked to higher likelihoods of trying substances like alcohol, nicotine, and cannabis.
- The findings suggest that digital interactions may drive early adolescent substance use, prompting the need for further research to understand these connections better and develop effective interventions.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine associations between identifying as transgender and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in US early adolescents.
Methods: We analyzed cross-sectional data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (Year 3, 2019-2021) to estimate associations between gender identity and ADHD symptoms using the Child Behavior Checklist Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-oriented attention problem scale scores, adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, parent education, household income, and study site. Additional models adjusted for stress problems and depression symptoms.
