From 1 May 2021 Drug and Alcohol Findings ceased routinely generating and issuing new analyses of research. With our support this function has been taken up by our long-time supporter the Society for the Study of Addiction. Former members of our mailing list (now closed) and other interested readers are advised to subscribe instead to the society’s mailing list. The 
website is maintained as a legacy archive with support from the society. For more see this brief history of Findings.
Drug and Alcohol Findings bridges the divide between
UK-relevant research on the effectiveness of responses to drug and alcohol
problems and the practitioners who provide those interventions. The project aims
to encapsulate the studies’ findings, set them in context and explore
implications for practice. From 1999 to 2006 its main output was the
Findings magazine, since 2007 replaced by this free web-based service. is owned by
Mike Ashton and Natalie Davies, and recently and/or currently supported by the Society for the Study of Addiction and Alcohol Change UK, and advised by the National Addiction Centre.
