The Dynamic Research on Addiction and Momentary Assessment (DRAMA) Laboratory is a clinical psychology research laboratory at Arizona State University led by Dr. Jack Waddell, assistant professor of clinical psychology. In the DRAMA Lab, we seek to answer three fundamental questions: 

What are the short-term and long-term risks associated with problem alcohol and cannabis use?
We seek to better understand short-term outcomes and harms associated with problem use behavior via our use of ecological momentary assessment methods. Further, using prospective longitudinal designs, we seek to understand long-term risk for the development of substance use disorders and other mental health concerns that may ensue from problem alcohol and cannabis use.

What are the developmental and acute risk factors associated problem alcohol and cannabis use? 
By measuring alcohol and cannabis use in individuals’ daily lives, we seek to better understand acute factors that may help identify when, how and why alcohol and cannabis are used. Further, by tracking changes in alcohol and cannabis use across developmental transitions, we seek to better understand when and for whom problem alcohol and cannabis use develop over time. 

What are the outcomes and unique etiological factors associated with alcohol and cannabis co-use? 
The laboratory has a keen interest in the simultaneous use, or co-use, of alcohol and cannabis together. We seek to understand how co-use impacts short- and long-term risks as compared to alcohol-only or cannabis-only use, as well as the unique aspects of development and daily life that uniquely relate to co-use of alcohol and cannabis together.

Graduate students

  • Dr. Waddell will be admitting one to two graduate students for the fall 2026 admission to the Arizona State University clinical psychology program. If you are interested, please contact Dr. Waddell at [email protected]

Postdoctoral fellows

  • Dr. Waddell is actively recruiting postdoctoral fellows to join his laboratory through the department-hosted T32 training grant in drug use prevention. For more information, please contact Dr. Waddell at [email protected].

Undergraduate research assistants 

  • Dr. Waddell is recruiting undergraduate students to join the laboratory as personnel. Undergraduate research assistants are expected to dedicate 10 to 12 hours per week to the lab, which may include supporting data collection (e.g., running participants), coding and preparing data, data analysis and work on institutional review board applications.

Principal Investigator: Jack T. Waddell, PhD

Dr. Waddell is an assistant professor of clinical psychology in Arizona State University's Department of Psychology. He earned his PhD in clinical psychology from ASU and completed his clinical internship at the Carl T. Hayden Veterans Hospital. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the UC San Diego Department of Psychiatry before joining the ASU faculty in 2025. Dr. Waddell’s work has been funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the National Institute on Drug Abuse and several other national and local organizations. His current research focuses on identifying acute predictors of alcohol and cannabis use in daily life, and the outcomes of using the two substances simultaneously.

Laboratory coordinator: Riley Tolbert, BA

Riley began working with the lab in 2024 while Dr. Waddell was completing his postdoctoral fellowship. He graduated in 2025 with a bachelor’s degree in clinical psychology from UC San Diego. Riley’s research interests focus on the social and contextual predictors of alcohol and cannabis misuse. He is currently leading a paper on the negative and positive consequences that occur on days when alcohol and cannabis are used simultaneously. Riley hopes to pursue a PhD in psychology in the future.


Postbaccalaureate research assistants:

Hew Yeh, BS 
Hew began working with the lab in 2025 while Dr. Waddell was completing his postdoctoral fellowship. He graduated in 2025 with a bachelor’s degree in clinical psychology from UC San Diego. Hew’s research interests focus on well-being and mental health in young adults. He is currently leading a project examining the contexts of cannabis use and how they relate to the co-use of alcohol and cannabis. Hew hopes to pursue a PhD in psychology in the future.
