Journal Title：Addiction Science & Clinical Practice

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.

成瘾科学与临床实践为临床相关研究和观点提供了一个论坛，这些研究和观点有助于在各种临床环境中提高对酗酒、吸烟或其他吸毒和成瘾行为的人的护理质量。

成瘾科学与临床实践接受与临床环境中不健康的酒精、烟草和其他药物使用的预防和治疗相关的临床相关文章。感兴趣的主题涉及与以下相关的问题：受影响人群中不健康地使用酒精、烟草和其他药物的范围（例如，不受年龄、种族/民族、性别或性取向的限制）；一系列临床预防和治疗实践（从健康信息到识别和早期干预，再到更广泛的干预措施，包括咨询和药物治疗以及其他管理策略）；以及识别和管理物质使用的医疗、精神、社会和其他健康后果。

成瘾科学与临床实践对解决如何改善对不健康物质使用及相关疾病患者的护理质量的文章特别感兴趣，如（美国）医学研究所报告“提高心理健康保健质量”中所述健康和物质使用条件（华盛顿特区：国家科学院出版社，2006 年）。此类文章涉及护理和卫生服务的质量。尽管该杂志也欢迎提交在成瘾专业治疗环境中解决这些问题的投稿，但该杂志特别有兴趣包括解决这些环境之外的不健康使用的文章，包括新的护理模式和结果的经验，以及研究-实践合作的结果.

虽然成瘾科学与临床实践通常不是基础科学研究的出路，但我们将接受已明确描述潜在临床相关性并且可供狭窄实验室研究领域之外的受众访问的基础科学研究手稿。
