Substance Research
Studies factors linked to the development of hazardous substance use.
In Chicago, UIC HAPPY Lab is a health and medical research laboratory studying how drugs and alcohol affect the brain and behavior. Its research examines why some people transition from recreational substance use to hazardous use, including genetic, personality, environmental, and physiological factors. Studies assess effects on mood, attention, memory, heart rate, blood pressure, and hormone levels. Carefully controlled studies may administer drugs or alcohol to fully screened volunteers under safety and ethical guidelines from NIDA, NIAAA, and NACDA. The lab also provides public education about substance effects, evidence-based treatments, help access, and ways to evaluate or control substance use. Its resources address stigma surrounding drug and alcohol use disorders.
