NIH/NIDA

Genome-Wide Association and the Genetics of Substance Use Disorders

 

This 5-year project includes research and training in genome-wide association (GWA) methods in order to examine the genetic contributions to substance dependence and impulsive/risky behaviors. The project will recruit subjects with substance use disorders and antisocial behaviors, conduct assessments, and conduct GWA analyses examining alcohol consumption and substance dependence/impulsive behaviors.

Role: PI

 

Completed Research Support

NIH/NIDA

Genetics of Adolescent Antisocial Drug Dependence (COMRAD)

 

This COMRAD project continues a multi-site collaboration, initiated under DA 012845, to conduct a prospective study to address critical issues in the genetic epidemiology of adolescent onset antisocial drug dependence. We will complete five year follow-up assessments, examine drug use and antisocial behavior trajectories and their predictors, and we will conduct genome wide association analyses of persistent adolescent-onset antisocial drug dependence.

Role: Co-PI
