The Longitudinal Impact of SES and the CNDS on Recovery From SUD

The Longitudinal Impact of Socioeconomic Status and the Competing Neurobehavioral Decision Systems on Recovery From Substance Use Disorder

The goal of this study is to provide a scientific understanding of the impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on the recovery trajectory (psychosocial functioning, relapse/remission status, and neurocognitive mechanisms).

The study will characterize the effect of SES (subjective and objective indicators) on long-term trajectories of recovery and neurocognitive functioning. By using an accelerated longitudinal design, the investigators will examine the association between baseline SES, changes in CNDS, and changes in psychosocial functioning (e.g., quality of life) and relapse. Moreover, the investigators will use computational modeling to capture underlying changes in components of CNDS functioning related to SES and SUD recovery.
