Call for papers

Individuals are now invited to submit abstracts to present at the 6th Annual Conference of INEBRIA 2009. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 12th June 2009.

The conference aims to break new ground in the theory, research and implementation of screening and brief intervention (SBI) for alcohol use disorders. Evidence of the effectiveness in primary care is already well established however other essential aspects of SBI have received less attention and important potential applications remain unexplored.

Theory of brief interventions
Methodological issues in research on SBI
Optimal forms of screening in various settings
SBI in the criminal justice setting
Brief interventions and internet
SBI and young people
Application to minority ethnic groups
Innovative ways of encouraging implementation
