Addiction Science & Clinical Practice is the new title of NIDA’s peer-reviewed journal, Science & Practice Perspectives. With this issue, we begin a new, twice-yearly publication schedule, doubling our coverage of the ongoing evolution of science-based understanding and management of substance abuse and addiction. We will soon introduce another innovation that we hope will intensify readers’ engagement with the issues and discussions presented in these pages: a Web feedback page. Beginning in January 2008, we invite your comments and queries, which we will post together with AS&CP authors’ and reviewers’ responses at www.drugabuse.gov/ascp/feedback.
Our title has changed, but our mission has not. We still aim to foster dialogue and collaboration between substance abuse researchers and clinicians. In these pages, you will still find distinguished scientists’ summaries of research on clinically important issues and astute and creative clinicians’ essays on important problems in drug abuse treatment and prevention. Our popular panel responses will continue to model the ways addiction scientists and clinical practitioners evaluate and integrate new information and insights into their own experiences and circumstances.
We hope you find the articles in our present issue interesting and useful. We hope as well that you will consider entering into the research–practice dialogue, either on our new feedback page or by submitting article ideas to:
