MonCOG: Validating a neurocognitive framework and developing a purpose-built assessment tool for addictions

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The clinical assessment of people with drug, alcohol or other behavioural addictions (e.g. gambling) has traditionally relied on measuring the frequency and severity of the behaviour itself, and not the underlying brain-based processes that lead to these problems. This study will test a neurocognitive framework for addictions - derived from a panel of world leading experts in the field - to establish a unifying, scientifically-informed understanding of the core processes driving addictions.
