Self-reported impulsivity, task-based inhibitory control, and early sipping behaviors as longitudinal predictors of adolescent alcohol use and problems in the ABCD Study

Trait impulsivity and sipping in late childhood relate to future alcohol use, and the relationship strengthens with age. Our results found a negative interaction between negative urgency and age on problematic use, potentially indicating negative urgency as a phenotype of vulnerability to experiencing alcohol related problems at younger ages. Findings indicate the importance of understanding facets of impulsivity in the context of adolescent alcohol use for prevention and intervention efforts.
