Research project funded by NIAAA to study how sleep duration and timing affect brain function related to reward and stress, and their impact on risky alcohol use in young adults.
Description
This research project aims to understand the linkages between stressful life events, sleep duration and timing, and alcohol use in young adults, with the goal of developing effective preventative interventions for alcohol use disorders. It involves evaluating a biobehavioral model of alcohol use disorder in young adults with recent high-risk drinking and high lifetime exposure to stressors, using observational and experimental study designs.
