The high-risk research design involves selecting subjects based on the presence of specific risk factors, in this case adolescent alcohol use. This allows for a more focused investigation of the potential causes and consequences of the behavior. The researchers should not deliberately put their subjects in risky situations, and while they may be exploring an area with uncertain or controversial findings, this is not necessarily the same as investigating an "unlikely" cause. Additionally, while assessing risky behaviors will likely be part of the study, it is not the main defining feature of the high-risk design.
