Longitudinal Changes in Recovery from Drug Use Disorders: A National Study

Primary Investigator(s): 
Sean Esteban McCabe
In Collaboration With/Organization: 
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Award Year: 
2015

Dr. McCabe and his research team will analyze two waves of nationally representative longitudinal data, covering adults 18 years of age and older in the United States, for evidence of recovery and relapse among individuals with substance-use disorders involving marijuana, sedatives, tranquilizers, opioids, stimulants, hallucinogens, cannabis, cocaine, heroin, and inhalants. Dr. McCabe will also examine the developmental predictors associated with relapse and full remission as well as the influences of substance-abuse treatment and disability on recovery. This project will be the first large-scale national study to examine longitudinal changes in recovery and relapse as a function of age, gender, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Dr. McCabe will collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team made up of colleagues from Nursing (Dr. Carol Boyd), Psychiatry (Dr. James Cranford), and Survey Methodology (Dr. Brady West). Findings from the study will help to establish the most effective standards of treatment for substance-use disorders.
