This seminar-style course focuses on the intersection between substance use, addiction, children, families, and identity.

Course content will cover a range of topics including but not limited to: a broad overview of addiction and substance use disorders, discussion of the impact of addiction on children, parenting, and family processes, stigma and triggers for relapse, gender and socioeconomic differences in risk for and development of addiction, and an overview of research methods in addictions research.
