Contributions of behavioral science to alcohol research: understanding who is at risk and why.

Behavioral science has been an active participant in alcohol research progress over the past 30 years, particularly in the areas of prevention and treatment methodology. However, alcoholism results from the interaction between complex biological and behavioral systems, and in recent years, combined behavioral and biological studies, primarily of alcohol effects on the brain and of the genetics of alcoholism, have begun the much more complex process of elucidating the links between biology and specific alcohol use behaviors. It is this combined research that ultimately will produce the pharmacological and behavioral interventions that will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of alcohol prevention and treatment methods.

Outlook: prospects for alcoholism treatment.

Treating alcoholism reduces many alcohol-related social, economic, and medical problems. A historical lack of support for alcoholism treatment and for alcoholism treatment research is disappearing, and significant progress is being made toward developing new and improved treatments. Current research findings are the basis of this "Outlook" which is divided into three levels of confidence: clear extrapolations from present research, extrapolations that are reasonable but uncertain, and predictions that attempt to guess the unguessable. It concludes that the future looks promising for new and improved alcoholism treatments.
