Aims & Scope

Advances in Dual Diagnosis (ADD) is an international applied research journal offering peer-reviewed, practical and thought-provoking content and a forum for topical debate on dual diagnosis (co-occurring substance abuse and mental health conditions) and complex needs.

ADD is a vital resource for nurses, policy-makers, psychologists, social workers, academics, researchers, universities, colleges, local authorities, carers, service users and students.

The journal includes: Best practice Case studies Peer-reviewed research papers Policy updates User and carer perspectives Employment, training, education International perspectives.
