Colloque Tabac, alcool, drogues, jeux de hasard et d'argent. -À l'heure de l'intégration des pratiques November 23, 2007
Ce colloque prends place dans le cadre des Journées Annuelles de Santé Publique, à Montréal. Thomas F. BABOR, (Ph. D., M.P.H.) prononcera une conférence dans le cadre de la CONFÉRENCE PLÉNIÈRE. La consommation de tabac, d'alcool et de drogues ainsi que la pratique des jeux de hasard et d'argent constituent des facteurs de risque de multiples problèmes sociaux et de santé. L'usage et l'abus de ces produits et la dépendance qu'ils peuvent engendrer sont des sujets complexes qui préoccupent la population. Jusqu'à maintenant, les approches de prévention de l'une ou de l'autre de ces problématiques se sont développées et réalisées presque exclusivement en parallèle. Cependant, des études récentes démontrent la fréquente concomitance de ces différentes formes de consommation. Les présentations et discussions de cette journée thématique sont l'occasion de tracer un portrait de chacun de ces phénomènes de consommation, de comprendre la concomitance entre eux et d'analyser les pratiques de prévention. Cela permettra aux professionnels qui travaillent en prévention et en promotion de la santé de tirer des leçons utiles et d'explorer la manière de mieux intégrer les actions préventives dans la planification des interventions de santé publique.

National Drug and Addictions Awareness Week (NAAW/DAW)November 18-24, 2007
Drug Awareness Week (DAW) began as a grassroots initiative in the early 1980s, and was officially recognized as National Drug Awareness Week in 1987 by the minister of Health and Welfare at the time -- the same year that Canada's first national drug strategy was launched. It was also during the late 1980s that Alberta's Nechi Institute began to host the very successful National Addictions Awareness Week (NAAW). Although primarily an Aboriginal initiative, it quickly caught on with non-Aboriginal communities as well. Find out more about plans for NAAW 2007 at http://www.naaw.net/.

2008 International Gambling Conference - Looking Forward: New Directions in Research and Minimising Public HarmFebruary 21-23, 2008
Hosted by Auckland University of Technology Gambling Research Centre and the Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand. Gambling remains a major growth industry globally - expanding into new markets, changing and evolving in diverse ways. The costs and benefits of this growth are multiple, complex and difficult to assess. They operate at different levels and are subject to intense political, community and academic debate. This Conference will examine new and emerging gambling technologies - along with their various impacts and consequences. It will consider measures to prevent and reduce harm associated with gambling. Such measures include government policy and regulation, industry practice, public education, community engagement and advocacy, prevention, early and brief interventions, treatment and rehabilitation. We particularly welcome presentations that focus on innovative practice in any of these areas and research relevant to the enhancement of gambling policy and professional practice.

Premier colloque francophone sur le traitement de la dépendance aux opioides October 22-24, 2008
Premier colloque francophone sur les traitements de substitution aux opioïdes. Partant du constat que les grands questionnements relatifs aux traitements de substitution, ayant cours dans la plupart des pays francophones, présentent de nombreuses similitudes et que les stratégies thérapeutiques adoptées en la matière présentent, quant à elles, de nombreuses différences, nous avons souhaité, dans le cadre de la septième édition de cet événement, organiser une rencontre entre les différents professionnels francophones désireux d'échanger sur leurs pratiques, et ce, dans le but de favoriser le transfert réciproque de connaissances et d'expertises.
