"A 35-Year Longitudinal Study of Risk Factors for Alcoholism"


William K. Warren, Jr.  Frontiers in Neuroscience Lecture 
Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital Conference Center 
10:00 am - 10:45 am    Registration and Brunch, brunch stops being served at 10:45 - no exceptions
11:00 am - 12:00 pm    Program

Dr. Marc A. Schuckit is a distinguished Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego. His work regarding substance use and related disorders has focused primarily on risk factors for developing heavy drinking and alcohol use disorders (AUDs); how genetic and environmental contributors toward this risk can operate through a low level of response (low LR) to alcohol and how such data can be used to help prevent alcohol-related problems; fMRI-based brain mechanisms that contribute to this low response; and longitudinal studies of individuals at high risk for AUDs. He has also published about the development of diagnostic criteria for substance use disorders (SUDs) overall. Dr. Schuckit developed the concept of an AUD risk through the low level response (LR) to alcohol, established methodologies and designs for assessing the construct and tested LR across populations (e.g., adolescents, adults, females, males) and across generations in the U.S. and U.K. The causes of heavy drinking and alcohol problems are many and identifying these is an important endeavor. Dr. Schuckit has maintained a strong interest in issues related to alcohol and other substance-related disorders, both from the standpoint of diagnosis as chair of the DSM-IV and member of the DSM-5 SUD workgroups and by producing overviews of clinically relevant topics as published in the New England Journal of Medicine and Lancet, including overviews of delirium tremens, treatments for AUDs and the treatment of opioid use disorders.

Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the role of genetic contributors to alcoholism.
2. Learn about the role of the low level of response to alcohol as an endophenotype enhancing the alcoholism risk.
3. Discuss how such risk factors can be used to help prevent heavy drinking and alcohol problems.
