The stigmatisation of alcohol and other drug services

s: The abstract for an empirical research study should be structured into: aims, methods, findings, conclusions. Abstracts for other submissions (e.g., policy commentaries) need not follow this structure. Please also include a minimum of three keywords, which you can either provide yourself or select from our list on Manuscript Central. You may, if you wish, suggest preferred or non-preferred reviewers for your paper. You may also suggest an Editor to whom you think your paper could be assigned. Authors are themselves responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyright material from other sources. All submissions will be sent anonymously to independent referees. STIGMA AND AOD SERVICE PROVISION ix Acknowledgement of funding and conflict of interest: Authors are requested to acknowledge sources of funding for research projects and to declare any conflict of interest. Acknowledgements should be placed after the text and before the reference section. References: All publications cited in the text should be listed following the text; similarly all references listed must be mentioned in the text. Style, statistical reporting, and reference citations should conform to the American Psychological Association's guidelines, from the APA Publication Manual, sixth edition.

Each should be submitted separately to the main text document and numbered with Figure number (Arabic numerals). The captions of all figures should be submitted when prompted in Manuscript Central at the upload stage, should include keys to symbols, and should make interpretation possible without reference to the text. Figures should ideally be professionally drawn and designed with the format of the journal (135x210 mm) in mind and should be capable of reduction. Tables: Tables should be submitted separately, numbered in Arabic numerals, and their position indicated in the text (e.g. Table 1). Each table should have a short, self-explanatory title. Vertical rules should not be used to separate columns. Units should appear in parentheses in the column heading but not in the body of the table. Any explanatory notes should be given as a footnote at the bottom of the table. Proofs: Proofs will be sent by email to the author nominated for correspondence. Proofs are supplied for checking and making essential typographical corrections, not for general revision or alteration. Proofs must be returned (by email or fax) within 48 hours of receipt.
