N2  - Risky decision-making, especially in adolescence, is a major public health problem. However, fuzzy-trace theory suggests that bad outcomes are preventable by changing thinking, and, therefore, feelings, about risks. The theory aligns with new findings and has been shown to be effective in experiments on sexual risk-taking, medication adherence, and genetic testing. Despite the vulnerabilities of the adolescent brain, decision processes can be modified by applying evidence-based theory.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
