In previous research, Andrew Subica and his colleagues found exceptionally high rates of alcohol use disorder (or alcohol abuse) and alcohol-related harms among Pacific Islander young adults.
Reviewed by Megan Craig, M.Sc.Sep 19 2023 Now Subica, an associate professor in the UC Riverside School of Medicine's Department of Social Medicine, Population, and Public Health, has received a $3 million grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, or NIAAA, of the National Institutes of Health to conduct research aimed at preventing these disorders and harms in Pacific Islander young adults.
According to Subica, no known tailored intervention currently exists to effectively reduce the alcohol risk in this population. As a result, he said, the study will design and conduct a full-scale clinical trial of "Strategies for Pacific Empowerment and Alcohol Reduction," or SPEAR.
