《藥物與酒精依賴》是一本國(guó)際期刊，致力于發(fā)表有關(guān)藥物、酒精和煙草使用與依賴領(lǐng)域的原創(chuàng)研究、學(xué)術(shù)評(píng)論、評(píng)論和政策分析。文章從研究化學(xué)物質(zhì)的濫用,他們的行為在分子和細(xì)胞,在體外和體內(nèi)研究的生化、藥理和行為動(dòng)作,實(shí)驗(yàn)室和臨床研究在人類中,藥物濫用治療和預(yù)防研究,從流行病學(xué)研究使用方法、社會(huì)學(xué)和經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)。這種廣泛報(bào)道的理由是深信不能從一個(gè)單一的角度完全理解藥物、酒精和煙草的使用/依賴，如果不了解其他研究領(lǐng)域，個(gè)別調(diào)查人員的研究可能是有限的。該雜志的目標(biāo)是為研究人員、臨床醫(yī)生和政策制定者提供一個(gè)單一的期刊，以一種可理解的、經(jīng)過(guò)嚴(yán)格編輯審查的格式從各個(gè)角度獲取材料。其編輯的希望是促進(jìn)對(duì)藥物濫用的許多方面的相互了解，使所有參與藥物和酒精研究的調(diào)查人員受益，并促進(jìn)將科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)化為成功的治療和預(yù)防實(shí)踐。參考文獻(xiàn)引用中公認(rèn)的藥物依賴和酒精依賴的縮寫是Drug Alcohol Depend。

Drug and Alcohol Dependence is an international journal devoted to publishing original research, scholarly reviews, commentaries, and policy analyses in the area of drug, alcohol and tobacco use and dependence. Articles range from studies of the chemistry of substances of abuse, their actions at molecular and cellular sites, in vitro and in vivo investigations of their biochemical, pharmacological and behavioural actions, laboratory-based and clinical research in humans, substance abuse treatment and prevention research, and studies employing methods from epidemiology, sociology, and economics. The rationale for this extensive coverage is the conviction that drug, alcohol and tobacco use/dependence cannot be understood in their entirety from a single perspective and that without an understanding of other areas of research, studies by individual investigators may be limited. The goal of the journal is to provide researchers, clinicians, and policy makers access to material from all perspectives in a single journal in a format that is understandable and which has received rigorous editorial review. The hope of its editors is to promote mutual understanding of the many facets of drug abuse to the benefit of all investigators involved in drug and alcohol research, and to facilitate the transfer of scientific findings to successful treatment and prevention practices. The accepted abbreviation for Drug and Alcohol Dependence for bibliographic citation is Drug Alcohol Depend.
