Addiction science & clinical practice provides a forum for clinical-related research and perspectives aimed at improving the quality of care for individuals experiencing unhealthy alcohol, tobacco, or other substance use and addiction behaviors in various clinical settings. The journal accepts clinical articles related to the prevention and treatment of unhealthy alcohol, tobacco, and other substance use in clinical environments. Topics of interest include the scope of unhealthy use of alcohol, tobacco, and other substances among affected populations (regardless of age, race/ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation); a range of clinical prevention and treatment practices (from health information to identification and early intervention, to broader interventions including counseling, pharmacotherapy, and other management strategies); and the identification and management of the medical, psychological, social, and other health consequences of substance use. The journal is particularly interested in articles that address how to improve the quality of care for patients with unhealthy substance use and related diseases, such as the report from the Institute of Medicine titled "Improving the Quality of Health Care for Mental Health and Substance Use Conditions" (Washington, DC: National Academies Press, 2006). Such articles address the quality of care and health services. While the journal also welcomes submissions addressing these issues in addiction treatment settings, it is particularly interested in including articles that address unhealthy use outside of these settings, including experiences with new care models and outcomes, as well as results from research-practice collaborations. Although Addiction science & clinical practice is not typically a venue for basic scientific research, we will accept basic science research manuscripts that clearly describe potential clinical relevance and are accessible to audiences beyond narrow laboratory research fields.
