Physiological risk factors for substance use disorders; genetic and environmental factors associated with individual differences in antisocial behavior and substance use problems (using data on twins).

Examining contributions of physiological, cognitive, and environmental risk factors to substance use disorders and personality disorders in adults; examining critical properties of electrodermal response modulation, a putative biomarker for substance dependence; examining genetic and environmental influence on personality in adult twins and reading ability and disability in young twins.
