Youth alcohol consumption is declining across most high-income nations, often alongside concurrent decreases in drug use and smoking. Researchers are increasingly focusing on the nature and underlying reasons for this decline.
The Kettil Bruun Society is holding a thematic meeting to discuss the nature of these trends.
The programme will be organised around the following themes:
Advocates of prevention have long touted its value, but researchers’ success in quantifying the economic benefits of preventive interventions have often been limited by fragmented methods and practice.
A number of efforts by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Academies, federal agencies, and foundations over the last decade have led to improvements in these methods.
The workshop is part of a project funded by the Health Programme of the EU and is run in collaboration with partners in the UK (Middlesex University, Health Opportunities Team, Change Grow Live), Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy and Poland.
CCSA's Issues of Substance Conference will take place at the Westin Ottawa from November 25-27, 2019, as part of National Addictions Awareness Week.
The theme for CCSA's IOS 2019 Conference is Evidence and Perspectives, Compassion and Action.
The goal of the annual scientific meeting of the CPDD is to present and disseminate information about ongoing research in the biomedical, behavioural and social sciences.
It brings together basic scientists and clinical investigators from academia, government and industry.
