Research Division

Our Research Division is involved in research primarily in alcohol and drug problems. We have ongoing research projects to develop, evaluate, and disseminate evidence-based programs. Here are our vitae.

As a result of our research we have developed a number of products. These include software programs and web applications that motivate problem drinkers to change their drinking, teach moderate drinking skills, study courses, and training videos. We also give workshops and consult with organizations and businesses.

So browse our site and let us know what you think. If you'd like to order anything, please print out a copy of the order form page and send it in with your payment.  We also can accept credit card orders by phone.
