In conclusion, while much has been
discovered over the past 30 years about the nature and extent of
alcohol use disorders and their treatment, there is still much more
to be learned. The most
promising avenues of research on alcohol abuse and alcoholism are
outlined in this slide.
Multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches, if applied in
the most strategic manner, will increase understanding in many
areas: normal and abnormal biology and behavior related to alcohol
use; improved diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and finally,
enhanced quality healthcare for all.
