Paul Goldstein is one of the leading experts on relationships between substance use and trafficking and violence. Dr. Goldstein was awarded a substantial grant by the National Institute on Drug Abuse to study "Healthcare Needs of Addicted Criminal Offenders." The goal is to gain a detailed understanding of health care needs and service utilization of a sample of chemically dependent criminal offenders. This project includes a five-year follow-up. Dr. Goldstein is also in the process of completing a study, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, that examines personal and system impacts of termination of Social Security disability benefits related to drug addiction and alcoholism.
