Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
- As this is a natural history protocol of alcohol use as a continuum, in order to be eligible to participate in this study, an individual must meet the following criterion:
- Age \>=18 years of age
- Willingness to complete the study including genetic and MRI tests.
- We will assign participants to one of two groups in this study:
- Treatment-seeking individuals (Patients that want to stop alcohol use and will require medical management to achieve sobriety) and
- Non-treatment-seeking participants (Patients or healthy volunteers who want to continue their current alcohol use).
- All participants are initially phone-screened for eligibility and their desire for treatment of AUD (or lack of it) will determine their group allocation. Their self-report of health status, pregnancy, legal status, and willingness to complete the study including the genetics and MRI test will be assessed in the phone screen and determine eligibility.
- EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
- This is a natural history protocol of alcohol use as a continuum. Potential participants are pre-screened on the phone and, based on the information provided on the phone, the following categories are excluded because they are not suitable study participants for this protocol:
- Individuals \< 18 years of age
- Prisoners
- Pregnant candidates
- Candidates having a severe medical or mental health disorder that would impair participation in the study
- All participants are initially phone-screened for eligibility: age, legal status, pregnancy, and severe medical conditions will be assessed using information reported in the phone screen to determine eligibility for the study.
