CLAS Study

Recruitment Status: CLOSED FOR NEW ENROLLMENT Open only to returning participants (Session 2, Session 3)

The "CLAS Study" (CLAS is short for Characterizing Low Alcohol Sensitivity) is a five-year research study started in 2018 (see the news). This R01 grant is funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA R01AA025451). It involves recruitment of 420 emerging adults to participate in multiple lab sessions (including EEG tasks) and rounds of daily assessments using a smartphone app (ecological momentary assessment). The overall goal of the study is to translate an influential theory of addiction from a preclinical (rodent-based) model to a human model, using a combination of psychophysiological, behavioral, subjective, and ecological assessments of alcohol cue-reactivity and drinking behavior.
