Alcohol Research Group

Disparities

ARG’s disparities research focuses on identifying, understanding and preventing inequitable alcohol-related health outcomes and conditions experienced by specific population groups.  Such inequities are often identified along racial or ethnic lines but can also be experienced by people who have limited access to health services, live in poorer neighborhoods or face discrimination because of their gender or sex.  With over 30 years combined experience in researching disparities and alcohol-related issues, our scientists bring to the field an extensive collection of skills, knowledge and expertise that has advanced methodology in the field, influenced policy, and identified knowledge gaps in understanding differences between groups.
