The aim of this 29th Symposium is to have an in-depth look at the advances in alcohol research and raise further research issues and opportunities, taking into account experiences from around the world. The scope of the Symposium is broadly defined to include studies of determinants of drinking, practices, attitudes, and problems in the general as well as in the clinical populations, and the social and institutional responses to drinking-related problems. Research and action research reports will be welcome as much as theoretical papers. Participants from the whole range of social and health sciences are expected.
