Abstract
Adolescents admitted to a dual-diagnosis residential treatment program were assessed on impulsivity, psychiatric/substance use disorders, and an emotional response inhibition task. Adolescents diagnosed with an alcohol use disorder exhibited higher negative urgency on the UPPS-P, and failed to show a post-treatment improvement in accuracy on positive emotion inhibition trials.
