		<description><![CDATA[More than 10 years ago, the 1990-1992 National Comorbidity Survey (NCS) looked at the use of “extra-medical” drugs: alcohol, tobacco, psychoactive prescription drugs used outside of the prescribed purpose, and illegal drugs.
                This study revisits that issue, analyzing more recent data from the 2001-2003 NCS-Replication (NCS-R). The face-to-face household survey collected responses from 5,692 English-speaking [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The term “dually diagnosed” refers to patients with drug problems and co-occurring psychiatric disorders. Although previous research has shown that dually diagnosed individuals attend and benefit from 12-Step programs, the specifics of what may work or not work remains unclear.

While these programs are effective in communities at large, certain neighborhoods within a larger community may benefit from more targeted strategies. For example, prior studies have shown that neighborhoods with a high density [...]

		<description><![CDATA[“Self-efficacy” is a fancy term for what is essentially known as “believing in yourself.” This study applies the term to the field of addictions research in an effort to examine the relationship between substance-abuse treatment and abstinence self-efficacy.
                Researchers assessed 2,350 clients (99% male) who received treatment at 88 community residential facilities across the United [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Higher levels of health risks in racial and ethnic neighborhoods have been observed in the cases of toxic waste, pollution, and the locating of industrial sites. This condition is referred to as environmental injustice. Another example is evident in the density of liquor stores and bars in non-white urban neighborhoods. There are no data available [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Although a number of studies have shown a significant relationship between drinking and depression, there have been some contradictory findings, and sometimes the relationship appears stronger for women than for men. This study explores if some of these inconsistent findings may be partially due to the types of measures used for both drinking and depression.

		<description><![CDATA[               Alcohol research is not an exact science. Although accurate estimates of alcohol use and intoxication are clearly important in many areas of the law and in alcohol research, there exists considerable inconsistency in the reporting and interpretation of alcohol-test results across studies. For example, in a recent study a drink was defined as either [...]

		<description><![CDATA[                Research has found that college students tend to greatly overestimate the percentage of their peers who drink heavily. Prevention experts worry that such a distorted view of subjective drinking norms might actually drive up student alcohol consumption. In response, “social norms marketing” (SNM) campaigns have been designed to correct misperceptions of subjective drinking norms, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[               There are certain high-risk groups on college campuses that have a reputation for heavy alcohol consumption: student-athletes, for example. This study examined the impact of a social norms intervention designed to reduce alcohol misuse among athletes by changing their misperceptions of the levels of peer drinking.
                Researchers targeted student-athletes at an undergraduate college with [...]

This new study indicates that these olfactory deficits among alcoholics are also associated with impairments in the functions of the prefrontal lobe.

		<description><![CDATA[               Previous research has shown that alcohol taxes or prices affect total alcohol consumption, and that aggregate alcohol consumption affects cirrhosis mortality rates. Other evidence suggests that heavy drinkers, who are most at risk for liver disease, are less responsive to price than other drinkers. This study investigated the impact that alcohol taxes – for [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Alcohol’s damage to the brain’s cognitive functions was reported by scientists as early as the 1880s. Available data show the tremendous neuropsychological problems exhibited in alcoholics entering treatment and in early abstinence. However, there is evidence of significant recovery of these faculties over the first year of abstinence. Current research reflects a developing understanding of [...]
