Clinical Trial: Adolescent Mood During Puberty and Testosterone
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Adolescent Depression
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Probing the Neurophysiological Mechanisms Underlying Sex-specific Testosterone-mood Relationships During Puberty: A Randomized Controlled Trial Using a Smartphone-based Training Program
Brief Summary:
Starting at puberty, female adolescents are nearly three-times more likely to develop internalizing disorders, like depression, while male adolescents are two-times more likely to develop externalizing disorders, like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).This divergence between the sexes during puberty suggests sex-specific pathways of risk and differential effects of sex hormones.The purpose of this research is to determine: 1) sex-specific neural and endocrine features of the pubertal transition that…
