Welcome to CrossCurrents

to the current issue
 Beginning with the Winter 2002 issue, the Journal of Addiction and
Mental Health has a new name -- CrossCurrents.
CrossCurrents is the only magazine exploring issues in addiction
and mental health in Canada. Since 1998, it has provided a unique perspective
on current mental health and addiction-related issues through professionally
written stories, research summaries, news and feature articles.
Along with the name change, the internal layout of the publication has
also been redesigned to give it a more open and contemporary look. The
renaming and the redesign are a result of a continuing quality improvement
process that included a readership survey conducted in February 2002.
The renaming and redesign of the magazine also support further changes
that arose from the readership survey. The survey analysis indicated that
the majority of our subscribers were comprised of frontline professionals
working in the addiction and mental health fields. Readers reported that
they particularly appreciated the focus articles and research updates,
which they wanted to see expanded in future issues.
As a result of the survey analysis, CrossCurrents has adjusted
its focus toward the information needs of frontline health care providers
and allied professionals. CrossCurrents will be published quarterly
while increasing the length of each issue by four pages. Increasing the
number of pages will enable writers to explore themes and topics in more
depth.
The name CrossCurrents is intended to signify and highlight the
dynamic interrelationship between addiction and mental health. It also
reflects the unique capacity of the Centre to address issues pertaining
to concurrent addiction and mental health disorders. Articles dealing
with concurrent disorders will be prominently featured in future issues.
CrossCurrents will continue to serve its readers with accurate,
informative coverage of addiction and mental health issues. For subscription
information, please call 416 595-6059 or 1 800 661-1111 outside Toronto.
