About CAS


Our Mission

The mission of the Center of Alcohol and Substance Use Studies (CAS) in the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology is to: conduct, coordinate, and promote multidisciplinary research on the biopsychosocial mechanisms underlying the causes of alcohol and substance use disorders with an emphasis on traumatic stress and health disparities; provide community engaged research training opportunities for substance use prevention and treatment; and translate and disseminate findings for the public through local, national, and international media outlets.
