Philip May, whose major duties have been in research with the Center on  Alcoholism, Substance Abuse and Addictions (CASAA) for the past eleven  years, has been working as principal investigator all year on his three NIH  research grants studying the epidemiology and neurobehavioral phenotype of  fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. He and some of his research team have published four journal  articles this year and have two in press on the following subjects: problem  gambling in New Mexico; the prevalence and characteristics of fetal alcohol  spectrum disorders in various populations, and alcohol use and abuse among  American Indians.
