Call for Submissions
Please read before submitting!
We are accepting abstracts for individual presentations and proposals for symposium sessions. Abstracts present results from a single study, either for a poster or oral presentation. Symposium proposals create an entire conference session and must include three or four abstracts with a common theme.
Abstracts must be submitted by the person who intends to present the study in the case of individual abstracts, and by the organizer/chair in the case of a symposium session.
An author may submit a maximum of two abstracts where they would be the presenter/first author.
Authors looking to submit an abstract or symposium proposal will be redirected to Dryfta, our abstract submission portal, via the button below.
All accepted abstracts will be published in the Substance Use & Addiction Journal (SAj).
The deadline for all submissions is: Wednesday, May 31, 2023 at 11:59 PM EST.
