Aims and scope
Advances in Dual Diagnosis is a practice-based Journal that offers vital access to and information about dual diagnosis in the UK.
People with mental health problems who also have problematic use of drugs and alcohol (dual diagnosis) are a significant concern for services and a consistent approach about how to work effectively with this group is needed.
This Journal provides practical information to help improve services for people with dual diagnosis. It provides a forum for the dissemination of:
• best practice
• case studies
• peer-reviewed papers
• user and carer perspectives and involvement
• workforce development, training and education
• international perspectives and experiences.
Readership
Advances in Dual Diagnosis is vital for everyone involved with people with a dual diagnosis. It is a hugely valuable source of information for practitioners, frontline staff, nurses, managers, policy-makers, psychologists, social workers, academics, researchers, universities and colleges, local authorities, commissioners, carers, users of services and students.
