The
Institute for the Study of Addiction (recently approved by the Idaho
Board of Education) is a joint endeavor of the Colleges
of Education and Health Sciences to provide coordinated and
complementary information dissemination and professional development
opportunities for addictions prevention and treatment professionals.
Given the insidious foothold of addictions in the American
population, the ongoing health risks associated with addictions, and
the infusion of government funding available to address these issues,
cooperative study of addiction is of vital importance.
Dr.
Ken Coll is the Institute’s Director. Georgia Girvan is Director of
the Regional Alcohol and Drug Awareness Resource Network Center
(RADAR).
Dr. Diana Doumas is the Associate Director and Dr. Susan Esp is
also part of the institute’s leadership team.
