Coming Next Issue…. New Name. Broader Coverage. Same Reliable Newsletter.

We are very pleased to announce that Alcohol and Health: Current Evidence is expanding its scope. Beginning with the May-June 2007 issue, the newsletter will cover the latest clinically relevant research on both alcohol and other drugs.

To reflect this broader coverage, the newsletter’s name will change to Alcohol, Other Drugs, and Health: Current Evidence, and its website address will become www.aodhealth.org. Everything else—the relevant and succinct summaries, insight from experts in the field, valuable teaching tools, CME opportunities, and unbiased funding sources—will remain the same.

We look forward to bringing you a wider range of valuable information on substance use that you can apply in your clinical teaching, practice, or research.
