GHS 553 - Junior Seminar: Behavioral Research on Alcohol

(also listed as PSYCH 553 )
Credits: 4
An examination of current research and theory in the area of alcohol studies. Issues related to alcohol use and abuse are approached through the complementary disciplines of psychology and epidemiology. Special emphasis is placed on prevalence, individual and public health consequences, and causal and contributory factors, as well as treatment and policy-based interventions. In addition, attention is paid to methodological issues in alcohol research, particularly research design and statistical methods. Our study emphasizes close reading of selected primary sources in psychology and epidemiology, in-class discussion, and extensive writing, culminating in a detailed research proposal.
