About COGA

Since 1989, researchers from across the country have worked together to identify genes that increase or decrease the risk of alcohol use disorder (AUD), the progression of AUD, and factors related to treatment and remission/recovery. These findings inform prevention and treatment of AUD.

More than 725 scientific papers have been written using the COGA data!
