NAD

The journal covers a broad set of aspects on epidemiology, use, harm, prevention, policies, and practice. The articles are encouraged to involve a social or welfare political framing. Nordic research and comparative settings are of special interest, but the journal also welcomes contributions from other parts of the world with relevance from a Nordic perspective. The journal publishes articles in English, but also in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish.

Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs has an international readership of researchers, public health authorities, politicians, decision-makers, NGOs, professionals, students, and the media. By publishing in the journal, the contributors also reach a wider Nordic audience through the popNAD website and its summaries of the journal’s content.

NAD is published in cooperation with Uppsala University and the University of Helsinki. Financial contributors to NAD are the Centre for Alcohol and Drug Research (CRF) at Aarhus university in Denmark, the Ministry of Social Affairs in Sweden, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health in Finland, the Society of Swedish Literature in Finland (SLS), and the Icelandic Directorate of Health.
