Current ORI Projects

Center for Prevention of Problems in Early Adolescence (EA Center)
National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2005 - 2010
Anthony Biglan, Terry Duncan, Carol Metzler, Shawn Boles, Sue Duncan, Julie Rusby, John Seeley, Dennis Embry, and Brian Flay
This core support center integrates and supports research projects which span the range of research problems needed to improve prevention for early adolescence, including family, school, peer, neighborhood and community influences on substance use, antisocial behavior, depression and high risk sexual behavior.

Communities and Schools Together for Childhood Obesity Prevention (CAST)

This project uses community-based participatory research (CBPR) with a community-school partnership, including families, to develop researched solutions in preventing childhood obesity and related health risks. CAST is creating a research model for using geospatial community health information database systems (CHIDS) on local environmental, social, and family influences on child activity and diet, neighborhood designs related to active child transport to and from school and other neighborhood child activity, and presence of food outlets providing affordable, healthy food access for families. CHIDS will be used to guide collaboratively determined interventions and policy change to pursue locally driven solutions in childhood obesity prevention within elementary school settings.
