[RPIA Membership Roster] [RPIA Meeting Rosters]

The Risk, Prevention and Intervention for Addictions study section reviews applications for qualitative and quantitative research in humans on psychosocial and biological antecedents and risk pathways for the onset, development and progression of addictive behaviors across the lifespan as well as research leading to the development and testing of interventions to prevent the onset of addictive and related problem behaviors, or to prevent the progression of use to abuse. RPIA also reviews research to develop, modify, adapt, pilot, or test therapeutic interventions (and related clinical training procedures) aimed at curtailing the progression of drug abuse to addiction, preventing relapse, and treating substance abuse and dependence. Domains of risk include biological, genetic, psychological, behavioral, cognitive, interpersonal, and environmental factors. Specific areas covered include:

Etiology of substance abuse and other potentially addictive behaviors, including gambling.
Prevention of early onset of substance use and progression toward addiction.
Stage I, II, and III projects to develop, pilot, and test treatments for substance use disorders including those that examine behavioral and/or biological mechanisms of behavior change.
Underage drinking, alcohol abuse and related problems.
Tobacco use, nicotine dependence, and prevention and cessation interventions.
Craving, cue reactivity, and related interventions.
Co-morbidity of addictions and other behavioral, biosocial, and psychological conditions.
Acute and long-term effects of substance abuse.
Substance-related violence and victimization.
New and emerging drug use and other addiction problems.
Development of methods specific to these areas of research.
