Sensation Seeking in Long-Term Abstinent Alcoholics Treatment-Naïve Active Alcoholics and Non-Alcoholic Controls

摘要

BackgroundIncreased sensation seeking is associated with the development of alcohol dependence; however, it has not been studied in long-term abstinent alcoholics. In the current study we examine sensation seeking in middle-aged long-term abstinent alcoholics (LTAA) and in younger actively drinking treatment-naïve alcoholics (TxN).
