Empirical Awakening: 25 years of NIH Funded Research on Mutual-Help Programs’ Effects, Cost-Effectiveness, and Mechanisms, June 16, 2018

For those of you planning on attending RSA in June in beautiful San Diego, there is a free satellite conference on the Saturday which is marking the 25^thanniversary of the NIAAA-supported monograph on Alcoholics Anonymous research (McCrady and Miller, 1993). This satellite conference will present overviews of the science on AA and related Twelve-Step Facilitation interventions conducted during the past 25 years, including efficacy, effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and mechanisms of behavior change research. New research on 12-step alternatives (e.g., SMART Recovery, LifeRing, Women for Sobriety) also will be featured.

 

There is an All-Star lineup of scientists, including NIAAA Director George Koob who will be giving the opening remarks. Co-Chairs are Scott Tonigan and Division 50 past president John Kelly.
