Topics of interest for IOS:
Presentations are sought that stimulate ideas and discussion, promote learning of knowledge and skills, and energize attendees to participate in debate. Work that addresses issues faced by diverse groups in society—especially hard to reach populations and Aboriginals, First Nations, Inuit and Métis—to reduce harms across multiple settings and various contexts is encouraged. We seek evaluated policies, frameworks, strategies, evidence-based best practices, emerging research and innovative knowledge exchange strategies to:
- Identify best and emerging practices in health promotion and prevention and harm reduction
- Guide early and brief intervention throughout the lifespan, including children, youth, adults and seniors
- Improve quality and access to effective mental health and addictions services
- Prevent and minimize harms to society as a whole
- Link addiction-related behaviour and neuroscience with appropriate interventions
- Build capacity for resilience and reduce the risk of harms
- Address homelessness, poverty and stigma
- Build the capacity for coordinated community-based responses to addiction and co-occurring health problems
