Abstract
Brief from Drug Advisory Programme, the Colombo Plan
Highlights
Despite the availability of international research journals on substance abuse, there is a distinct gap between what is being reported by the research experts and the transfer of this into practice
Recognising the large gaps persisting among the policy, practices and research in the substance use disorders, the Colombo Plan has taken a lead in advancing the linkages among research and practice by producing an international journal
The experts are of the view that the dissemination of research findings in the drugs field, as in science in general, should be mainly achieved through the publication of articles in peer- reviewed journals.3. Complimenting these arguments, this journal will provide a forum for the Colombo Plan to advance the scientific literature by engaging a broad global network of scholars and researchers in the field who could advance the understanding of drug treatment and prevention technologies, and their application throughout the world
Summary
Despite the availability of international research journals on substance abuse, there is a distinct gap between what is being reported by the research experts and the transfer of this into practice. Research processes and outcomes are not always readily transferred to the day to day working context of the practitioner. Reports of quality practice, with relevance for researchers and practitioners are uncommon.
