Substance use is associated with worse mental health and altered resting state functional connectivity in female university athletes at baseline: A pilot study.

University athletes are at high risk for both substance use and mental health problems. This study examined associations between substance use, mental health symptoms, and the resting state functional connectivity (rsFC) of key neural regions involved in self-monitoring and emotional regulation in a...
