Allison E. Aiello, PhD, MS

The National Institute of Health/ NIDA has awarded Allison Aiello a grant to determine whether neighborhood disadvantage influences the risk of illicit and prescription drug use among adult residents of Detroit, and to assess plausible physical consequences associated with PTSD symptoms. The study will conduct novel investigations into the interrelationships among genetic variation, neighborhood-level stressors, and complex diseases known to be frequently comorbid with PTSD, specifically illicit drug use and coronary artery disease, while also providing valuable data with which to evaluate the usefulness of PhenX Toolkit measures.
