SIDE Procedures: Simulations for modeling drinking and drug use in youth
Anderson et al. (2013)
We developed laboratory simulations to examine adolescent and emerging adult decision making about alcohol and drug use in social contexts.
United States
The A-SIDE video simulation assesses alcohol- and marijuana-related decision making in adolescents. The C-SIDE (collegiate) and Can-SIDE (cannabis) audio simulations target substance use decision making in across five commonly experienced social contexts for emerging adults on campus or in the community.
Netherlands
The S-SIDE (smoking) assesses tobacco-related decision making in Dutch university students. A modified C-SIDE procedure is available for use with Dutch university students.
