35th Annual Alcohol Epidemiology Symposium of the Kettil Bruun Society (KBS 2009) in Copenhagen, June 1-5, 2009

 The primary purpose of the conference is to provide a forum where researchers involved in studies on alcohol can exchange ideas about their ongoing research. The scope of the symposium includes studies of determinants and consequences of drinking, drinking practices, attitudes and the social and institutional responses to drinking related harms. Empirical research, theoretical papers and reviews of the literature are welcome. Epidemiology is broadly construed and includes research in a variety of disciplines, such as psychology, sociology, criminology, economics, history and other disciplines.

The Symposium focuses on discussion of papers that are pre-circulated electronically at this website. Papers are presented in 10 minute segments, followed by a discussant's comments and general audience participation. Any person who submits a paper may be asked to be a discussant or chair of a session.

Pre-symposium workshops and special meetings will be organized on Saturday, May 30th and Sunday, May 31st.

The symposium sessions will be held at University of Copenhagen, City Campus, Øster Farimagsgade 5, DK-1410 Copenhagen K .
