Losing and Regaining Control over Drug Intake (ReCoDe)
ReCoDe is a multidisciplinary research consortium consisting of 40 principal investigators (PIs). Participants within the consortium have a diagnosed alcohol use disorder, with some participants having additional tobacco and cannabis use disorders. The central cohort consists of the following age categories: 16-32, 33-49, and 50-65 years, as well as 150 healthy participants as controls. The participants have no additional neurological, cognitive, or schizophrenia-related disorders. The consortium created the central cohort for the first stage of research, and then recruits from this cohort for future projects.
