Children and adolescents (N=279) from 11 to 15 years old were randomly selected from the general population as part of the ongoing Teen Alcohol Outcomes Study at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. This study was designed to investigate how genes, the environment, and neural systems contribute to adolescent psychopathology, with an emphasis on alcohol use disorders. Emotional neglect and fMRI data were available for all 279 participants. Self-report and behavioral data are summarized in Table 1. The study was approved by the institutional review board at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
