Harold D. Holder, Ph.D., is the Director and Senior
Research Scientist of the Prevention Research Center.
Dr. Holder has explored two major alcohol research areas:
prevention of alcohol problems, and the cost and benefits
of alcoholism treatment. He was one of the first researchers
to undertake controlled studies on the economic benefits
of alcoholism treatment. He has authored numerous research
papers on alcoholism treatment cost-offset (the potential
of alcoholism treatment to reduce overall health care
cost which can reduce or offset the cost of alcoholism
treatment). These papers have involved study populations
in California, the midwest, as well as federal civilian
employees in the U.S.
Dr.
Holder has been appointed to the National Advisory Council
on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, National Institutes
of Health, effective 1998. He was chosen, by a board
of distinguished international scientists, as the recipient
of the 1995 Jellinek Memorial Award for his research
on social and economic factors of alcohol consumption,
and the impact of changes in alcohol availability on
alcohol problems.
