DescriptionThis presentation will trace the development of the scientific history of alcohol studies in the United States from the early 1930's until the present as seen through the role and mission of the Center of Alcohol Studies (CAS). The CAS emerged from the faculty of the Laboratory of Applied Physiology at Yale University and has been located at Rutgers since 1962. Focusing on 75 years of the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs (formerly the Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol and the Journal of Studies on Alcohol), the oldest alcohol/addiction research journal currently published in the United States, the history of the Center of Alcohol Studies will be used as a microcosm and prototype of research centers in the United States and elsewhere in the development and evolution of scientific approaches to study alcohol in all of its facets from molecular genetics to social policy and interventions.
