The 33rd Annual New Directions in the Study of Alcohol Group Conference
2009 New Directions in the Study of Alcohol Group’s Annual International
Conference Thursday 23rd – Sunday 26th April in Belfast.
This year the annual NDSAG conference is held in Northern Ireland for the first
time and incorporates a research symposium from the Alcohol Education
Research Council.
To celebrate our first event in Northern Ireland we have returned to 2007
conference prices!
Following international studies that found no apparent differences between
treatments, NDSAG takes up the issue of Asking The Right Questions In The
Right Way challenging traditional research. We will examine the relationship
between research design and real world change processes. It is time to take
a realistic, long term view on treatment effectiveness and consider service
users’ views.
As ever, the New Directions in the Study of Alcohol Group conference
programme is designed for practitioners, managers, researchers, commissioners
and anyone else interested in the alcohol field. This year’s conference in
Belfast will feature the usual mix of erudition, hard work, robust debate and
informality: a proven formula that promotes high quality learning and
networking.

Jim Orford (Birmingham); Keith Humphreys (California);
