Substance Abuse

The purpose of this Community of Interest is to create a collection of researchers/scholars operating in association with a sponsor (OVPRIED) to further common causes/interests surrounding substance abuse in its many sectors by sharing knowledge, information, or data and collaboratively and interactively pursuing informed courses of action. These systems typically result in collective learning occurring through common efforts on a problem(s) and/or issue(s); less individual study and more indirect learning via discussion and collaboration.

Common interests of this group include:

•     Effects of substance abuse on the brain
•     Decision-making in social settings
•     Alcohol consumption in adolescents
•     Early learning experiences
•     Neurological impairments
•     Using social media as a tool
