We have extended our symposium deadline to 9/28/2018 in order to accommodate delays related to Hurricane Florence.  If you have been impacted by severe weather and require an additional extension please contact the program committee. The deadline for poster submissions is November 1, 2018. 

Visit the CPA website (http://addictionpsychology.org/cpa) for more information, to submit proposals, to register, and to reserve your room at the Hotel Providence. As a reminder, our conference room rate of $209 is outstanding, about half of what these rooms are going for online, but supply is limited so reserve soon.

The 2019 Collaborative Perspectives on Addiction Meeting will be in Providence RI from April 4^th – 6^th and will feature two keynote talks from Drs. Rajita Sinha and Felipe Castro, three pre-conference workshops, symposium sessions, panels, poster presentations, and numerous opportunities for networking during breaks, social hours, and meals.  The theme for this year’s event is “Addictive Behaviors across Diverse Populations: Innovations in Science and Practice” We recognize that the inclusion of persons from diverse backgrounds defined in the broadest sense is critically important to understanding the social and contextual factors contributing to addictive behaviors across the lifespan. The sessions at CPA 2019 will consider diversity-related factors in the etiology and treatment of addiction through presentations that include current, cutting-edge research and clinical practice.
