Zachary W. Adams studies mental health and substance use in young people, especially how trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) connect to alcohol and drug use in adolescents and young adults. Much of the work develops and tests integrated treatments—such as family therapy approaches—that address co-occurring trauma symptoms and substance use, and examines risk factors like childhood victimization and opioid prescriptions. The research combines clinical trials, survey studies, and some neurophysiological and gene-expression measures.
