Effects of Polygenic Risk and Perceived Friends' Drinking and Disruptive Behavior on Development of Alcohol Use Across Adolescence.

Future well-powered, theoretically driven replication efforts are needed to examine generalizability of these findings across diverse samples. PMID: 33308411 [PubMed - in process]
