Dismayed seeing this ALERT when visiting the great NIAAA News alcohol treatment navigator website that our team uses daily to connect patients to alcohol care. Federal funding cuts hurt patients, especially the most vulnerable.

Great synopsis Hanna! 1 unresolved question is what proportion of pts with MetALD have co-occurring alcohol use disorder? The answer will inform a lot: definition validity, appropriate alcohol treatment, clinical trial design, etc. My guess: it's high w/ most MetALD being ALD.
