The 37th Annual Alcohol Epidemiology Symposium of the Kettil Bruun Society is to be held in Melbourne, 11th-15th April, 2011.  Details about the conference are available at http://www.kbs2011.theconferencemanager.com.au/

 

For this series of annual international research meetings, “epidemiology” is interpreted broadly to include social science, policy and historical research. The main focus is on alcohol, but there are usually a few drug papers. The expectation is that participants will attend the whole meeting, and most participants present a paper. Draft papers are submitted in advance and available to participants on a protected website, and many participants are asked to give a prepared commentary on a couple of papers.  At the meeting, a paper is introduced by its author, not read, and a prepared commentary is given, followed by general discussion.  

 

The call for abstracts is now open and the closing date is the 14th December 2010.

Kind regards,
