Social Understanding, Peers, Excellence, and Resilience

Welcome to Project SUPER Brain- A study of how youth’s developing brain and social contexts relate to impact:

Social Understanding, Peer interactions, Excellence in school, and Resilience

Children’s and adolescents’ worlds are changing fast. We are interested in learning about how youths’ developing brain interacts with their social experiences with peers to contribute to excellence in school and resilience during stress. Our study will examine how these factors contribute to both behavior and brain development across several years. We will enroll 300 youth and their families in project SUPER Brain at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
