Hair is being collected from all participants to provide quantitative information about recent (past 1–3 months) substance exposure. Samples for at-risk youth (defined at baseline and year-1 follow-up as youth reporting intent to use cannabis or youth who have past year use of cannabis, alcohol or nicotine) are sent to Psychemedics for quantitative measurement of
