This outpatient research study is enrolling participants to study the links between impulsivity, genetics, and the brains of children.
Participants may qualify if they are:
- Between the ages of 6 and 17 years
- Medically healthy
Outpatient participation includes:
- One clinical visit
- Interview, tests of learning and memory

Study participants do not need a diagnosis; study participation is symptom-based. This study has parts that can be done remotely and parts that are conducted at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. (Metro Red Line, Medical Center Stop).
Participants get a detailed assessment, clinical feedback, diagnosis or referrals and resources. Compensation up to $180 is paid for participation. Parent(s) and child must agree to participation.
