Christopher Kahler's work has focused on five primary topics: (a) the contribution of personality, psychiatric conditions, and emotional processes to the causes and treatment of alcohol and tobacco addiction, (b) methods for assessing alcohol use, problems, and dependence, (c) the etiology and treatment of the co-use of alcohol and tobacco, (d) alcohol and other drug use among sexual minority populations, and (e) alcohol interventions in the context of HIV prevention and treatment. He has published extensively in these and other areas with over 300 peer-reviewed publications to date. His recent publications focus on how changes in alcohol use over time impact key indicators of health among people living with HIV, the effects of alcohol on high-risk sexual behavior in HIV-infected men who have sex with men, the effects of alcohol administration on the ability to resist smoking in a laboratory relapse analogue paradigm, and developing a positive psychology-based smoking cessation intervention. His most recent publications have reported on clinical trials examing a digital smoking cessation treatment of heavy drinking smokers and a brief motivational interventions to address heavy drinking in men with HIV who have sex with men.
