Drug and Alcohol Findings bridges the divide between UK-relevant research on the effectiveness of responses to drug and alcohol problems and the practitioners who provide those interventions. The project aims to encapsulate the studies’ findings, set them in context and explore implications for practice. From 1999 to 2006 its main output was the Findings magazine, since 2007 replaced by this free web-based service. Drug and Alcohol Findings logo is staffed by co-owners and co-editors Mike Ashton and Natalie Davies, supported by Alcohol Change UK and the Society for the Study of Addiction, and advised by the National Addiction Centre.
