Abstract

Objective: This article offers the author's assessment of the progress in research on alcohol related to alcohol misuse and alcohol use disorders.

Method: The historical background of alcohol-problem research is reviewed in the context of defining problems for study and the pattern by which research is funded.

Results: Progress in terms of cumulative research has been affected by the lack of central authority and the National Institutes of Health structure within which almost all funding for alcohol research in the United States has occurred. Problems are traced to the particular history and nature of alcohol-problem research, the continuing prominence of moral elements, and particular features of the treatment of alcohol use disorders.

Conclusions: Although the scope of activity and production of publications in alcohol research has expanded greatly during the past 75 years, there is a potential shortfall in the cumulative research that has led to solutions to major problems associated with alcohol.

酒精研究与科学:被困在医学研究的天鹅绒笼子里?一篇社论。
目的:对酒精与酒精滥用和酒精使用障碍相关的研究进展进行综述。方法:在定义研究问题和研究资助模式的背景下,回顾了酒精问题研究的历史背景。结果:累积研究方面的进展受到缺乏中央权威和国家卫生研究院结构的影响,美国几乎所有的酒精研究资金都是在这种结构下进行的。问题可以追溯到酒精问题研究的特殊历史和性质,道德因素的持续突出,以及酒精使用障碍治疗的特殊特点。结论:尽管在过去的75年中,酒精研究的活动范围和出版物的出版大大扩大,但在导致解决与酒精有关的主要问题的累积研究方面存在潜在的不足。
