This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), will support a comprehensive longitudinal study examining the relationship between regional/neighborhood contexts, alcohol use and misuse, and genetic factors. The $314,888 grant, awarded on September 15, 2024, will enable researchers at the University of Wisconsin - Madison to analyze data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) to: 1) Investigate the prospective links between neighborhood environments and later alcohol use/misuse, as well as the reverse relationship of alcohol use/misuse predicting later neighborhood contexts; 2) Leverage twin and sibling data to evaluate causal associations between neighborhood factors and alcohol outcomes; and 3) Examine how alcohol-related genetic risk may influence individuals' residential locations and moderate the effects of neighborhood context on alcohol use and misuse. The goal is to provide critical insights into how genetic propensities and environmental factors interact to exacerbate disparities in alcohol-related health outcomes.
