Aims & Scope
Drugs: education, prevention & policy is a refereed journal which aims to provide a forum for communication and debate between policy makers, practitioners and researchers concerned with social and health policy responses to legal and illicit drug use and drug-related harm. The journal publishes multi-disciplinary research papers, commentaries and reviews on policy, prevention and harm reduction issues regarding the use and misuse of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. It is journal policy to encourage submissions which reflect different cultural, historical and theoretical approaches to the development of policy and practice.
The Editor welcomes contributions based on original research, policy discussion, evaluations of policy and practice, literature reviews, and papers which examine historical and cultural aspects of substance use and social responses to use and problematic use.
Short contributions are also welcome for two new sections in the journal:
Policy News will aim to provide information and discussion on current policy developments and issues of national or international importance in prevention or harm reduction
Conference Reports is intended to provide brief accounts, from the contributor’s point of view, of the themes and outcomes from national or international conferences.
