Addictions iRDA Overview
Work in this iRDA strives to inform and advance addiction prevention and treatment practices through constructive engagement between researchers and practitioners who directly serve the Las Vegas and Southern Nevada communities. The ambition includes yielding research and practice outcomes that will benefit not only citizens of this region, but of the nation. Preventative studies are focused on the relationship between developmental theories and successful prevention program strategies that have been established. Focused treatment of addictions includes specialization in substance use, gambling, and other addictive behavior disorders for all populations. This area builds on established UNLV strengths in serving the Las Vegas community and in foundational research.
