Study of how alcohol use changes over time
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study follows people over time to understand how alcohol use develops and changes. It may help researchers learn what factors are linked to changes in drinking, and it involves genetic testing and an MRI scan.

This study uses a brain-and-behavior “assessment” (neuroclinical testing) to better understand addiction. You may be tested only if you are an adult and are enrolled in the NIAAA screening program, and you cannot join if you are acutely intoxicated.
This trial tests how the medication acamprosate affects brain activity in people with moderate to severe alcohol use disorder. It may help researchers understand how this treatment works.
This study compares how people with alcohol use disorder and people without it experience taste and smell. It also checks brain activity during taste/smell testing to understand individual differences that may be linked to alcohol use.
This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to look at a protein called PDE4B in people with alcohol use disorder. The goal is to better understand how alcohol affects the brain, which may lead to new treatments.
This study screens people with or without past or current substance or alcohol use problems. It helps the researchers see if you might qualify for other studies at the NIDA research center.
