"Researchers at the Institute of Psychiatry have had a paper entitled: 'Personality-targeted interventions delay the growth of adolescent drinking and binge drinking' published online in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. This is part of an on-going research study, that is supported by Action on Addiction. Dr Patricia Conrod, Ms Natalie Castellanos and Dr Clare Mackie's research demonstrates that a personality-targeted intervention that Dr Conrod developed has revealed robust intervention effects in the prevention of adolescent alcohol use."
