JOURNAL OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT

The Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment (JSAT) features original research, systematic reviews and reports on meta-analyses and, with editorial approval, special articles on the assessment and treatment of substance use and addictive disorders, including alcohol, illicit and prescription drugs, and nicotine. JSAT values high quality empirical research that is relevant for translation by treatment practitioners from all disciplines and across any setting where persons with substance use problems are encountered. The editors emphasize that JSAT articles should address assessment techniques and treatment approaches that have clear relevance for routine practice. Accordingly, the scope of JSAT includes health services research, including the design, organization, delivery mechanisms and workforce characteristics of treatments in routine settings.It is the policy of JSAT that treatment research for individuals with substance use disorders meet the same scientific evaluative standards as treatments for those with any other health-related condition or illness. Thus, research articles submitted for publication in JSAT are expected to achieve the same empirical standards of reliability, validity, and empiricism. Theoretical models, clinical experience, and case vignettes are recognized as important supplements to, but not as substitutes for, research-based evidence.It is recognized that research-based evidence may take many forms, such as randomized controlled trials; case-controlled field evaluations; or time series evaluations. In early stages of research development, qualitative study or small trials may be appropriate and necessary first steps. Regardless of the specific type of study, authors of research articles should aim to: (1) Use one or more reasonable comparison or control conditions in the design and analysis of collected data, (2) Use data collection methods and measures that have been previously validated in the subject population, and (3) Analyze data (qualitative or quantitative) with the use of appropriate statistical methods.Authors must insure that the research as reported was conducted ethically, and that all protections to human subject participants were afforded. This insurance must be verified by the appropriate institutional review board or committee for the protection of human subjects. In addition, the editors of JSAT will not consider articles that use pejorative and stereotypical expressions when discussing individuals who suffer from substance use disorders.In drawing conclusions, authors are expected to use a parsimonious, cautious and conservative approach in the interpretation of findings. Hyperbole and overgeneralization beyond the data are considered irresponsible.

JOURNAL OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT期刊中文简介

《药物滥用治疗杂志》(JSAT)以原创研究、系统评论和荟萃分析报告为特色，并在获得编辑批准的情况下，发表了关于评估和治疗药物使用和成瘾障碍(包括酒精、非法和处方药以及尼古丁)的特别文章。JSAT重视高质量的经验研究，这些研究与来自所有学科和任何遇到药物使用问题的人的治疗从业者的翻译相关。编辑们强调，JSAT文章应该涉及与日常实践有明确相关性的评估技术和治疗方法。因此，JSAT的范围包括卫生服务研究，包括常规治疗的设计、组织、提供机制和劳动力特征。JSAT的政策是，对药物使用障碍患者的治疗研究应符合与对任何其他健康相关疾病或疾病患者的治疗相同的科学评估标准。因此，在JSAT中提交发表的研究论文应该达到同样的信度、效度和经验性的经验标准。理论模型、临床经验和案例摘要被认为是基于研究的证据的重要补充，而不是替代品。人们认识到，以研究为基础的证据可以采取多种形式，例如随机对照试验;病例对照现场评估;或者时间序列计算。在研究发展的早期阶段，定性研究或小规模试验可能是适当和必要的第一步。无论特定类型的研究中,作者的研究文章的目标应该是:(1)使用一个或多个合理的比较或控制条件的设计和分析收集的数据,(2)使用数据收集方法和措施之前验证主体人群,和(3)分析数据(定性或定量)使用适当的统计方法。作者必须确保所报道的研究是合乎伦理的，并且对受试者参与者提供了所有保护。这种保险必须由保护人类受试者的适当机构审查委员会或委员会进行核实。此外，JSAT的编辑在讨论患有药物使用障碍的个体时，不会考虑使用贬义和刻板表达的文章。在得出结论时，作者希望在解释研究结果时使用节俭、谨慎和保守的方法。数据之外的夸张和过度概括被认为是不负责任的。
