Research Summary

Dr. Crum's major research interests focus on the epidemiology and prevention of psychiatric disorders, alcoholism and other substance abuse. Current research activities include the development of a research program of study on the epidemiology and prevention of alcohol abuse and alcoholism. Recent projects center on identifying risk factors for alcohol abuse and dependence among adults and adolescents; evaluating the co-morbidity of alcohol and psychiatric disorders; studying a brief intervention for the prevention of alcoholism among severely mentally ill patients; and assessing the potential role of spirituality and religious beliefs and practices in the treatment of patients with severe mental illness.
