so this means... is a research to practice blog that looks at the latest alcohol, other drug, clinical and social research and tries to find the meaning to the college prevention practitioner.  Most of the blog entries will be written by me, Jim Lange, Ph.D.  I'm the California State Coordinator for The Network, and SDSU's Coordinator of AOD Initiatives.  I also have over 15 years of alcohol and other drug abuse prevention research experience.  I've published over 40 peer review articles, and serve as a reviewer for several top journals.  Guest writers will be sought to offer other perspectives as well.
