Abstract
Harmonization practices in consortia datasets discard disproportionate number of minoritized youth to reduce head motion in brain-behavior association studies. We proposed bagging to preserve high-motion underrepresented youth for robust and inclusive brain-behavior relationships. Bagging produced robust associations for psychopathology and cognitive performance while retaining 99% of the high-motion underrepresented youth.
