Analysis highlights areas for research into genetic causes of alcoholism
The findings of a meta-analysis of microarray data of several mouse models that differ in voluntary alcohol consumption highlight new neurobiological targets for further study and provide researchers a novel statistical approach for use in future microarray meta-analyses. view more (2006-04-19)
Parents comfortable with alcohol screening in pediatricians' offices
Parents are surprisingly receptive to being screened for alcohol problems during a visit to their child's pediatrician, including those who have alcohol problems.

Good relationship with parents may prevent teen drinking problems
Teenagers who have a strong relationship with their parents may start drinking at a later age -- which may, in turn, lessen their risk of developing alcohol problems, a new study suggests. view more (2009-04-24)
Random drug testing not reliable in keeping teen athletes from using
Random drug and alcohol testing does not reliably keep student-athletes from using. In fact, the mere presence of drug testing increases some risk factors for future substance use, Oregon Health & Science University researchers report. view more (2007-10-19)
Children are introduced to sipping and tasting alcohol in the home
Most studies of alcohol use among youth have focused on drinking by children in middle or high school. This study is one of the few to examine the earliest exposure to alcohol - sipping or tasting - in a large community sample of children. Findings indicate that the introduction to alcohol occurs long before adolescence, and it is an experience... view more... (2008-01-04)
Drunken fruit flies help scientists find potential drug target for alcoholism
A group of drunken fruit flies have helped researchers from North Carolina State and Boston universities identify entire networks of genes-also present in humans-that play a key role in alcohol drinking behavior. view more (2009-11-04)
Alcohol and malt liquor availability and promotion higher in African American inner cities
It appears that living in a poor neighborhood with a high concentration of African Americans is associated with greater alcohol availability and promotion - especially malt liquor - according to a recent study by University of Minnesota researchers. view more (2008-04-03)

Genetic and environmental influences on alcohol consumption among rhesus monkeys
There is little doubt that alcohol-related disorders in humans are genetically based. The influence of environmental factors, however, remains unclear. view more (2006-02-23)
Where do most Canadians with alcohol and drug problems live? Not where you think
If you think the big cities of Toronto and Montreal have the highest rate of alcohol and drug use problems, think again. A new study entitled "Geographical Variation in the Prevalence of Problematic Substance Use in Canada" authored by three researchers from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) discovered that Ontario and... view more...

New compound prevents alcoholic behavior, relapse in animals by blocking stress response
A study of alcohol-dependent animals shows that a newly discovered compound that blocks chemical signals active during the brain's response to stress effectively stops excessive drinking and prevents relapse. view more (2007-03-07)
15 Percent Work Under Influence of Alcohol

A new understanding of why seizures occur with alcohol withdrawal
Epileptic seizures are the most dramatic and prominent aspect of the "alcohol withdrawal syndrome" that occurs when a person abruptly stops a long-term or chronic drinking habit. Researchers have shown that the flow of calcium ions into brain cells via voltage-gated calcium channels plays an important role in the generation of alcohol... view more... (2009-10-19)

Study shows 1 in 25 deaths worldwide attributable to alcohol
Research from Canada's own Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) featured in this week's edition of the Lancet shows that worldwide, 1 in 25 deaths are directly attributable to alcohol consumption. view more (2009-06-29)
Prenatal alcohol exposure alters brain activity in the frontal-striatal areas
Heavy prenatal alcohol exposure does not always lead to fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS); sometimes it can lead to cognitive and behavioral deficits in the absence of craniofacial features needed to make an FAS diagnosis. view more (2007-07-25)
