The effects of chronic nicotine and alcohol use on neurocognitive function
Article Abstract:
The effects of chronic nicotine and alcohol use on neurocognition in participants who took part in a study of the efficiencies of three behavioral treatments for adults diagnosed with alcohol abuse or dependence is examined. The results stated that although years of chronic alcohol use was significantly inversely related to neuropsychological test scores, and chronic nicotine use showed an additive effect, substance use accounted for little variance in neuropsychological functioning.

The interaction of parental alcoholism, adaptation role, and familial dysfunction
Article Abstract:
Familial dysfunction is often regarded as having a more important impact on adults, perhaps because of a failure to recognize that adult children of alcoholics (ACOAs) may have adopted more than one coping strategy. The result indicates that participants from more dysfunctional families showed more negative profiles than from low or nondysfunctional families.
