"The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), a part of the National Institutes of Health, is the primary Federal agency that conducts research on alcohol use and its conseuqences. The important task of assessing the scope and consequences of alcohol use is carried out by NIAAA's Division of Biometry and Epidemiology (DBE). One way in which DBE accomplishes this goal is through the Alcohol Epidemiologic Data System (AEDS), which serves as a repository of national-level data useful for alcohool epidemiology and as a resource for analysis of such data. Another way in which NIAAA and DBE meet the responsibility of assessing the scope and consequences of alcohol use is by sponsoring and collaborating in the design of major data collection efforts by other agencies. For example, three alcohol supplements to the National Health Interview Survey (in 1979, 1983, and 1988) were partially funded by and designed with the collaboration of NIAAA. NIAAA also provided funding and technical expertise to the 1993 National Mortality Followback Survey. In addition, NIAAA has funded other data collection efforts through various grants and contracts."
