Dr. Kristina Jackson recently received notice of award for an R01 funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism called "Prevalence, onset and progression of substance use in adolescents and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders" as a multiple-PI with Drs. Anthony Spirito and Stephen Sheinkopf. 

The aims of the project are to characterize alcohol and other drug use in a large population-based sample of youth with autism spectrum disorder and to examine risk and protective factors for onset and rate of progression to more severe use and use disorders.
