First Annual Conference of the International Society for the Study of Drug PolicyMarch 22 - 23, 2007
Call for papers - deadline to submit abstract and proposal: October 13, 2006. The conference should be of interest to a wide array of disciplines including economics, epidemiology, operations research, public health, sociology. Participants are invited from a variety of institutional backgrounds: universities, national and international agencies active in drug policy and independent research institutions. Practitioners who consider themselves consumers rather than producers of policy relevant research should also find the conference of interest; they will be particularly welcome as discussants of papers at each session. While papers on all drug policy topics are welcome, four themes will be given particular emphasis at this inaugural conference: developing harm indexes for policy decisions; estimating government expenditures on drug policy; modeling the effects of specific policies and programs; assessing the impact of harm reduction and substitution treatment initiatives.
