Our research addresses multiple themes related to the short- and long-term health and social effects of substance use, identification of at-risk groups for harmful effects of alcohol, and drugs, the possibilities for preventive interventions at individual and community levels, and the development of more effective treatment. We also compare the alcohol and drug attributed disease burden in relation to policy change, in the Nordic and European countries.
