DESPR Organization and Vision
EPIDEMIOLOGY RESEARCH BRANCH
DESPR seeks to improve
the nation’s public health by
promoting integrated approaches to
understand and address interactions
between individuals and environments
that contribute to the continuum of problems
related to drug use.
Our goal is to develop scientific knowledge with clear
application to practice and public policy.

comes evidence for a plausible pathway:
Early Aggression

Antisocial Behavior
and Drug Abuse
Deviant peer

From Prevention: comes tests of the
theory and tests of a plausible
intervention strategy:
— Support for theory and development of
practical and useful interventions.

DESPR:
2006 Major Research Questions
1. What new theoretical approaches can
inform our research?
2. What intrapersonal and environmental
factors interact with each other and with
genetic factors?
3. How can we blend science and services to
measurably impact public health
outcomes?
Prevention 2006 Key Research Goal
Develop and maximize use of high quality
preventive interventions in real world settings
through research on
– Individual factors
– Relationship of drug abuse prevention to
HIV prevention
– Environmental strategies
– Community-based participatory research
What are we doing to
develop and promote these
themes?
Workgroups, Meetings, Publications, etc.
Translational Research is NOT
Unidirectional: There are Feedback Loops
Type 1
Type 2
Bi-Directional Influences
• Basic science laboratories
– Sensation Seeking
– Neurobehavioral disinhibition
– Early-onset antisocial behavior
– Psychiatric co-morbidity
– Stress reactivity
• Prevention
prevention:
basic neuroscience laboratories:
– What are the biological mechanisms that explain the
emergence of drug abuse during adolescence?
– What specific vulnerabilities are familial?
– What are the biological mediators of social interactions?
