The Addiction Clinical Trials (ACT) group is comprised of clinician-scientists engaged in addiction-related research within the Department of Psychiatry and UNC Health. Collectively, ACT research interests include the evaluation and dissemination of pharmacological and behavioral treatments for those suffering from substance use disorder, randomized trials of new treatments for addiction, and health systems research related to addiction treatment. The ACT group engages in patient-oriented research and clinical care with patients in the UNC Health system and the broader community.
