Marcia Russell, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist, recently
joined the Prevention Research Center in Berkeley, CA,
after many years at the Research Institute on Addictions
in Buffalo, NY. Trained as a chronic disease epidemiologist
at Yale University, she has conducted longitudinal research
on the fetal alcohol syndrome and on the relation of
stress and alcohol consumption to alcohol problems,
and high blood pressure in blacks and non-blacks. She
served as principal investigator for the NIAAA Alcohol
Research Center on the Clinical and Medical Epidemiology
and directed the study of factors influencing natural
recovery or entry into treatment for alcoholism described
here. Her work includes the development of a screen
for risk drinking and alcohol problems, the TWEAK, and
the Cognitive Lifetime Drinking History, a computer-assisted
assessment of lifetime drinking patterns. She is currently
investigating the relation of drinking patterns to guidelines
for moderate drinking and the role of alcohol and drug
use in the transmission of Hepatitis C virus.
