Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Behavioral Sciences is currently publishing manuscripts for a Special Issue on cannabis and tobacco smoking addiction. This Special Issue will include articles that draw on a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives that will contribute to our understanding of cannabis and tobacco addiction among diverse racial and ethnic groups. We welcome articles that utilize quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-method approaches. Given the focus of the journal, we anticipate that several articles will reflect psychological perspectives; however, we also encourage the submission of articles that draw on multidisciplinary work or integrate individual and structural factors in studies of race, ethnicity, and addiction. Articles that focus on measurement or research design as they relate to race, ethnicity, and addiction would also be of special interest. All articles will be subject to a peer-review procedure. For further information, please contact Zhen Gu, MD, Ph.D. ([email protected]).
Prof. Dr. Zhen GuGuest Editor
