Drs. Elizabeth Prom-Wormley and Hermine Maes Receive Funding for Their Resist! Project
Drs.Elizabeth Prom-Wormley and Hermine Maes recently received funding for their Resist! Project (R01 DA054313). The goal of this project is to index individual resistance to psychoactive substance use (SU) during adolescence and use the indices to identify factors influencing resistance into early middle adulthood, with a special focus on potentially modifiable factors.
We will also use a concept mapping approach to identify novel factors and a genetically-informed study design to account for genetic confounding. This project addresses the limited success in reducing SU due to a focus on factors that elevate risk for rather than resistance to SU. Factors enhancing resistance may more readily translate into prevention and treatment strategies.
