AMERSA has a long history of collaboration with the International Society of Addiction Medicine. In this article, we disseminate abstracts from a recent ISAM conference.
From thearticle: “International communication and collaboration via organized societies allow for advocacy and dissemination of research across borders, providing an opportunity to improve addiction treatment care processes and engagement. Towards that aim, Substance Abuse maintains a long-standing relationship with the International Society of Addiction Medicine (ISAM) and joined the International Society of Addiction Journal Editors (ISAJE) in 2013. Additionally, as part of its ongoing mission to publish high-quality scholarship in addiction science, Substance Abuse welcomes international submissions, as demonstrated in a recent special section on international addiction topics (Gordon AJ, Galanter M, Khalsa JH. Addressing addiction across borders: an international perspective on policies, scholarship, and collaboration. Subst Abus. 2014;35:290–291. [Taylor & Francis Online], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®]). Researchers and clinicians around the world are working to address the global public health threat of addiction, and we all benefit from the broad dissemination of various approaches to substance use disorder treatment.”
