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. In 2007, the French Health Ministry joined in the SFA actions
through the MILDT and DGS.
