The BEACH Lab at UNC - Wilmington is led by Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Nora E. Noel.  The laboratory research focus is the examination of alcohol and caffeine use as related to social and cognitive behaviors.  We are also studying health related issues, including racial disparities in treatment.

Our laboratory is located in the Teaching Laboratory Building, room 3008, on the UNCW Campus.  Research facilities include technologically equipped experimental rooms, observation rooms, and graduate student work stations.
