Addictive Behaviors
An International Journal
Addictive Behaviors is an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing human research on substance abuse.
The journal specifically focuses on studies related to the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine. Articles represent
interdisciplinary endeavors with research in such fields as psychology, psychiatry, epidemiology, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience.
While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined
with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. Uncontrolled clinical demonstrations and case
studies are not accepted for publication. Priority is given to the publication of research that evaluates behavioral and/or pharmacological
treatment or prevention interventions. In addition, studies of the functional relationships between substance use and any
one of a combination of social, emotional, cognitive, environmental, and attitudinal factors are encouraged. Studies that clearly contribute
to current knowledge of the etiology, prevention and/or treatment of substance abuse are given priority. Research on the epidemiology
of substance use is also published. A limited number of reviews are published.
