Substance abuse has been among the most serious healthcare challenges facing communities across the nation. As a strategic priority, Penn State is committed to combating substance abuse and as a result has established the Consortium on Substance Use and Addiction. Our goal is to tackle the problem at multiple interdisciplinary levels to study and combat the effects of substance abuse within Pennsylvania communities. The Douglas W. Pollock Center for Addiction Outreach and Research will play a key part in the Consortium, helping further connect to the community and veteran populations while drawing on the expertise of researchers, educators and practitioners from across the University.
