Ioana Popovici, Ph.D.
Ioana Popovici, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Sociobehavioral and Administrative Pharmacy at NSU’s College of Pharmacy, was cited in an article on CNN Money’s website regarding studies on a link between alcohol addiction and unemployment.

The survey shows that 17% of unemployed workers had a substance abuse disorder last year, whereas 9% of full-time workers did so. The numbers are self-reported, and therefore, could be even higher in reality.” Read the full article here.
