Three out of ten Americans can be diagnosed with some form of alcohol use disorder. Genetics can be an important factor in determining chronic alcohol use. Researchers have discovered certain genetic markers can also be helpful to pinpoint which drugs might be more effective to treat alcoholism. For this prompt, explore the relationship between genetics, alcohol use disorders, and the potential for personalized treatment approaches:
a. Discuss the role of genetics in chronic alcohol use (look for family and twin studies for research support).
b. What is at least one specific genetic marker for chronic alcohol use? To what extent (if at all) does one’s environment influence this marker?
c. What are two personalized treatment plans that could be implemented for individuals with this specific genetic marker? Explore one medicinal and one alternative treatment option by elaborating on the concept of personalized medicine, where genetic information can be used to determine an individual’s response to certain medications or treatment interventions.
d. Be sure to defend your ideas and decisions with adequate text and research support (the textbook AND at least THREE empirical sources).
e. Minimum word count: 500 (This does NOT include the APA citations)
