Publication of abstracts

Abstracts submitted will be published in a supplement of the Drug and Alcohol Review distributed at the conference. The Drug and Alcohol Review is APSAD’s official journal and is Asia-Pacific’s leading multidisciplinary journal addressing issues related to alcohol and drug-related problems. Published bi-monthly as of 2005, the Drug and Alcohol Review presents original research, policy development and information in the drug and alcohol research field. The journal is an international forum for the views, expertise and experience of all those involved in the study of treatment of alcohol, tobacco and drug problems. The journal represents an important source of information to clinicians, drug and alcohol agency staff, researchers, policy makers, and alcohol service administrators. Please consider this when writing your abstract, structure it accordingly (including any relevant data) and proofread abstracts carefully to avoid errors before submission. Proof pages will be sent to authors in mid October, it is the author’s responsibility to review proofs and return any corrections by the due date. Change in data or abstract content is not permitted at proof stage. Revisions to abstracts will not be permitted after Friday 28 May 2010, submission deadline. For further information please contact the Drug and Alcohol Review editorial officer.
