NAD's impact is growing stronger! With two cooperation agreements signed in April, the journal Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs (NAD) has expanded its presence in Nordic academia with a three university-model.

NAD, which is owned by the Nordic Welfare Centre, is now co-published with the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Helsinki and the Department of Sociology at Uppsala University.
