The SFA helps to develop
knowledge in the field of alcohol whatever the branch of learning.
As regards the use and misuse
of alcohol, SFA works on primary care, therapeutics, evaluation and
others.
Multiple consumptions and co-dependence
led the SFA to take a increasing interest in addiction
in a broad sense.
The SFA participates to information as
well as initial and continuing education,
and wants to offer a forum where specialized researchers and
practitioners in the field can exchange ideas and experience.
The SFA brings its expertise to the public
health decision makers and communicates with other
organizations in the field of alcohol and addiction – tobacco, illegal
drugs, psychotropic drugs abuse – at national and international level.
