The Center of Alcohol Studies (CAS) is a multidisciplinary research institute located in the Busch Campus of Rutgers University, which performs clinical and biomedical research on alcohol use and misuse. The center was originally at Yale University and known as the Yale Center of Alcohol Studies, before it moved to Rutgers in 1962. The CAS is also home to the peer-reviewed ''Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs'' (JSAD), the oldest journal on alcohol studies; and a library of alcohol literature.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.health.gov/nhic/NHICScripts/Entry.cfm?HRCode=HR0138 )〕 Early research in the 1940s at the CAS helped support the disease model of addiction that helped change public perception on alcohol consumption. ==History== The CAS was the first research institute dedicated to alcohol studies after the 21st amendment to the U.S. Constitution repealed prohibition in 1933. The center was originally founded at Yale as a research area in the Applied Physiology department in 1935. E. Morton Jellinek was Director of the Center until the 1950s, and stepped down when he was offered a position at the World Health Organization. He was replaced by Selden D. Bacon. The Yale Center of Alcohol Studies opened the first Summer School of Alcohol Studies in 1943, and in 1944 opened a free clinic devoted to treating alcoholism. The Summer School still continues every year.〔 The CAS at Yale funded the early years of the National Council on Alcoholism (NCA; now known as the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, NCAAD). In the 1960s, there was a new President at Yale. Around this time, the Yale Corporation voted to move the Center to a new location, negotiating mainly with Brown, Columbia and Rutgers University. The center moved to Rutgers University in 1962, with financial assistance from the National Institutes of Health and philanthropist Christopher D. Smithers. Biochemist David Lester was appointed scientific director of the CAS after it moved to Rutgers. In 1964, the Center moved again to Smithers Hall, where the CAS is located today.〔 Interest in Alcohol studies increased in the United States in the 1970s. On December 1970, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAA) was created as part of the National Institutes of Health. The NIAA began to fund research at the CAS in the 1970s.〔 In 1989, the CAS gave Stanton Peele the Mark Keller Award for Alcohol Studies for his article "The limitations of control-of-supply models for explaining and preventing alcoholism and drug addiction," JSA, 48:61-77, 1987.〔(Rutgers Center of Alcohol Studies )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Center of Alcohol Studies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
