International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research
The Forum, established in 2010, consists of an international group of over 40 invited physicians and scientists who are specialists in their fields and committed to balanced and well-researched analysis regarding alcohol and health. The Forum includes epidemiologists, statisticians, and basic scientists; cardiologists, hepatologists, neurologists, oncologists, and other medical practitioners; psychologists and social scientists; and specialists in social matters, psychology, and public health.
The Forum is co-directed by Creina Stockley, PhD, MBA, and Henk Hendriks, PhD, who receive remuneration for their roles and is chaired by Professor R Curtis Ellison. The modest work of the Forum is funded by subscriptions, and Forum members volunteer their services in preparing critiques.
The Forum’s functions are to:
1. Periodically provide timely critiques and comments by Forum members on its open website on emerging scientific publications and policy statements related to alcohol and health;
2. Periodically provide summary statements on selected topics related to alcohol and health;
3. Provide an archive of previous reports on scientific research related to alcohol and health; and
4. Provide an opportunity for all to seek expert opinion on topics related to alcohol and health.
Forum members volunteer their services in the preparation of critiques. For a disclosure statement regarding funding for review and preparation of critiques and for operation of the Forum website click here.
