Addiction Science & Clinical Practice

期刊简介：Addiction Science & Clinical Practice provides a forum for clinically relevant research and perspectives that contribute to improving the quality of care for people with unhealthy alcohol, tobacco, or other drug use and addictive behaviours across a spectrum of clinical settings.Addiction Science & Clinical Practice accepts articles of clinical relevance related to the prevention and treatment of unhealthy alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use across the spectrum of clinical settings. Topics of interest address issues related to the following: the spectrum of unhealthy use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs among the range of affected persons (e.g., not limited by age, race/ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation); the array of clinical prevention and treatment practices (from health messages, to identification and early intervention, to more extensive interventions including counseling and pharmacotherapy and other management strategies); and identification and management of medical, psychiatric, social, and other health consequences of substance use.Addiction Science & Clinical Practice is particularly interested in articles that address how to improve the quality of care for people with unhealthy substance use and related conditions as described in the (US) Institute of Medicine report, Improving the Quality of Healthcare for Mental Health and Substance Use Conditions (Washington, DC: National Academies Press, 2006). Such articles address the quality of care and of health services. Although the journal also welcomes submissions that address these conditions in addiction speciality-treatment settings, the journal is particularly interested in including articles that address unhealthy use outside these settings, including experience with novel models of care and outcomes, and outcomes of research-practice collaborations.Although Addiction Science & Clinical Practice is generally not an outlet for basic science research, we will accept basic science research manuscripts that have clearly described potential clinical relevance and are accessible to audiences outside a narrow laboratory research field.

【译文】《成瘾科学临床实践》提供了一个论坛，用于发表与临床相关的科研和观点，旨在提高临床环境中患有不健康酒精、烟草或其他药物使用和成瘾行为的人的护理质量。该期刊接受与临床相关的文章，涉及预防和不健康酒精、烟草和其他药物使用的治疗，涵盖临床环境的各个层面。感兴趣的主题包括以下问题：受影响人群（例如，不受年龄、种族/民族、性别或性取向的限制）中不健康使用酒精、烟草和其他药物的谱系；临床预防和治疗实践（从健康信息到识别和早期干预，再到包括咨询、药物治疗和其他管理策略在内的更广泛干预）；以及识别和管理与物质使用相关的医疗、精神、社会和其他健康后果。该期刊特别关注如何提高不健康物质使用和相关条件的人的护理质量，如（美国）国家医学研究所报告《改善心理健康和物质使用条件医疗保健质量》（华盛顿特区：国家科学院出版社，2006年）中所述。此类文章涉及护理和健康服务的质量。尽管该期刊也欢迎提交涉及这些条件在成瘾专业治疗环境中的文章，但该期刊特别感兴趣的是包括在非这些环境中的不健康使用，包括新型护理模式和成果，以及研究-实践合作的结果。尽管《成瘾科学临床实践》通常不是基础科学研究出版物，但我们将接受那些明确描述了潜在临床相关性和对狭窄实验室研究领域以外的受众可及的基本科学研究论文。
