The overall mission of the Latino Alcohol and Health Disparities Research and Training Center (LAHDR) is to advance the science and practice of health behavior change interventions to promote improved health outcomes. Research and training at LAHDR is particularly focused on reducing alcohol-related health disparities and treatment inequities among Hispanics. Through its research agenda, LAHDR informs the understanding of the underlying process of behavior change through research evaluating Self-determination Theory and principles of Positive Psychology, and applies this knowledge in the development of novel intervention strategies. In addition, LAHDR seeks to enhance the implementation and dissemination of evidence-based approaches to reduce the public health burden of alcohol problems through the application of evidenced-based training strategies.
The LAHDR Center’s vision is to become a focal point for training the next generation of alcohol-related health disparities scholars and clinicians with advanced training in evidence-based approaches to address alcohol-related health inequities among Hispanics.
