Under the direction of Dr. Kim Fromme, the SAHARA Lab focuses on the study of alcohol use and other risk-taking behaviors (e.g. risky sex, aggression/violence, illicit drug use) among college students and other young adults.  Some of our previous research has evaluated the effects of alcohol on cognition, the association between alcohol and risky sexual behavior, and the success of prevention programs in reducing alcohol use.

Our laboratory includes a suite of 9 interview, office, and meeting rooms, a simulated bar laboratory, observation room, and computerized testing room located in the psychology building, completed in June 2002.  Comprising approximately 2,000 square feet, the laboratory facilities are fully equipped for conducting survey, interview, and experimental research.  The laboratory facilities also include private telephone lines, sound proofed rooms, and a large workspace for graduate and undergraduate research assistants.  The bar laboratory is designed to simulate an actual barroom facility in all respects, including dim lighting, music, neon beer signs, and a host of alcohol-related stimuli.
