The developmental period of adolescence is characterized by increasing incidence of health risk behaviors ( HRB s). Based on theoretical models that emphasize the moderating role of cognitive control, this study examined how neural correlates of cognitive control and risk sensitivity interact to predict HRB s among late adolescents (17–20 years). Neuroimaging data indicate that risk‐related hemodynamic activity in the anterior insula during anticipation of uncertain outcomes predicts HRB s among late adolescents exhibiting greater dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (d ACC ) activity during a cognitive interference task but not among late adolescents requiring less d ACC activity. These results present neural evidence for a significant moderating effect of cognitive control on the link between risk sensitivity and HRB s among late adolescents.
