Research Objectives

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)

NIAAA is interested in observational, experimental/intervention, and secondary analysis studies that address family risk and protective factors associated with alcohol misuse and alcohol use disorders (AUD) in multiple interconnected domains (individual, community, and policy), with the goal of developing and implementing effective interventions to improve outcomes in populations that experience health disparities in the U.S. Family level factors are important contributors to alcohol misuse, the course of AUD, and recovery across the lifespan. Research may address factors associated with spouse, parent, child, and sibling relationships in diverse family environments (e.g., same-sex couple, kinship family, single family) and experiences (e.g., separation and divorce, violence, unemployment, child abuse and neglect). Family-based alcohol prevention and intervention studies in a variety of settings (e.g., healthcare, education, justice, and child welfare systems) are encouraged. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Family-level determinants of alcohol misuse and decision-making related to alcohol use initiation, progression to misuse, AUD treatment, and recovery.
• Family impact on the effectiveness of FASD prevention interventions.
• Family interventions to improve functions and quality of life for individuals with FASD across the lifespan.
• Family sources of resilience that modify the relationships between stress, alcohol misuse, and AUD.
• Family studies of strength and vulnerability to alcohol misuse in the context of whole person health.
• Family-based youth alcohol use preventive interventions.
• Family-level interventions to reduce alcohol misuse, facilitate recovery, and improve treatment engagement and outcomes.
• Integrative interventions that simultaneously address alcohol misuse/AUD and comorbidities.
• Long-term effects of child abuse and neglect on alcohol misuse/AUD in adulthood and recovery.
• Family-based prevention and treatment interventions to mitigate impact of trauma and adverse childhood experiences on alcohol misuse/AUD.
• Spirituality, religion, and mutual support groups in family-focused alcohol prevention and treatment interventions.
• Impacts of changes in parents’ alcohol use patterns and recovery from AUD on parenting and child health and well-being.
• The impact of family disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic on alcohol misuse and AUD.
