About the Course

The 2001–2002 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) sought to determine the prevalence of alcohol use and alcohol use disorders (AUDs), other drug use and drug use disorders (DUDs), and co-use and co-morbidity in the general adult U.S. population. The findings have important implications for the development of prevention and intervention approaches.

This course is based on the reading online article, An Epidemiologic Analysis of Co-Occurring Alcohol and Other Drug Use and Disorders: Findings From the National Epidemiologic Survey of Alcohol and Related Conditions NESARC created by Susanne Hiller-Sturmhöfel, Ph.D. et al
