Alcohol Disparities Research Center
Alcohol-related disparities are the unifying focus of our Center. We recognize the rising economic inequality in the US, the increasing disparities in alcohol-related problems, health and other outcomes, and the considerable gaps in knowledge. Our work seeks to increase understanding of contributing changes and factors which could inform future programmatic and policy efforts to improve people's health and reduce the societal harms and related costs to communities.
