This webinar will introduce participants to the ways in which decision making occurs for both emerging adults (those 18–25 years old) and maturing adults (those 26–40 years old); how substances interact with the brain; the distinctions between substance use and substance use disorders; and how substance use impacts the decision-making process, assessments of risk and reward, working memory, and communication.
