“If I were teaching a research class, I would use this CASA report as an example of what not to do.” — Dr. Hanson, talking about the same 2002 CASA fiasco
“If CASA’s board, which includes such scientific experts as actress Jamie Lee Curtis, wants to tell the world that drinking is bad for you, that’s their prerogative… But there’s no excuse for political activism masquerading as science.” — Matt Continetti, writing in The American Enterprise
“It’s a political pronouncement, not a medical or scientific one.” — Bob Curley, editor of Alcoholism & Drug Abuse Week, describing a CASA report
“The CASA study is seriously flawed... [It] is susceptible to serious misuse by people who take it out of context.” — From a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services press release, dated June 27, 1994. CASA’s ‘study’ claimed to show that 28% of adults on welfare were ‘addicts.’
“[CASA] has presented grossly distorted statistics that highly exaggerate the extent of underage drinking in the U.S…. Some activists promote false beliefs… for their own organizational and personal gain.” — Dr. David J. Hanson, a 25-year veteran of substance-abuse research at SUNY Potsdam, writing in a 2002 opinion column.
