The
main mission of the CSARTP is to
coordinate the numerous and diverse
substance abuse-related activities
on the UAB campus, and to provide
liaison between UAB and the
surrounding community. The
four primary areas of activity of
the CSARTP are research, treatment,
prevention, and training.
The purpose of this consortium
program is to conduct basic and
applied substance abuse research,
and to develop and disseminate
effective interventions for
substance abuse and dependence in
community treatment programs.
This Consortium allows fellow
researchers and colleagues to
partner across disciplines and the
many research areas related to
substance abuse, and importantly, to
provide training and mentoring
opportunities for students and
postdoctoral fellows. |

new book Choice, Behavioural
Economics and Addiction, Professor
