The general purpose is to implement the concepts and procedures from studies in the Division of Intramural Research Programs to translate the findings to youth mental health. The major goals of the IRP collaboration would be to advance the primary research goals of our research groups on mood disorders in order to identify links between mood disorders and their underlying dimensional manifestations with objective measures of motor activity and sleep, and mood reactivity and instability and broad outcomes including suicidal behavior, social and educational impairment, and onset of emotional and behavior disorders. Data from multiple domains including symptoms, impairment, neuroimaging, reactivity, psychophysiology, motor activity and sleep, cognitive function, and genetics that were collected in the first wave will be used to identify profiles of risk and outcome.
