Tiivistelmä
The projects funded by the Finnish Foundation for Alcohol Studies resulted in the publication of five academic doctoral dissertations and 16 peer-reviewed articles in international scientific journals in 2007. In addition, 15 other scientific papers were published. Seven ongoing research contract projects received additional funding and one new research contract projects were launched. This new project will study
changes in drinking cultures in Finland between the years 1968–2008. Other contract projects will be described below under the title Research activities.
In 2007, the foundation was able to fund 30 % of the total sum applied for alcohol research. The state subsidy for the foundation has remained unchanged from 1995 onwards, while the cost of living has increased over 20 %.
During the five-year period 2002–2006, funding by the foundation resulted in 23 academic doctoral dissertations and 108 peer-reviewed articles in international scientific journals. Input of one million euros brought about on the average 8.8 doctoral dissertations and 41.1 peerreviewed articles. Productivity of doctoral dissertations was 6.4-fold and that of peer-reviewed articles 3.8-fold compared with the average productivity of universities in Finland. The foundation took part in the international research consortium ”Theories of addiction and images of addictive behaviours (IMAGES)”, funded by the Academy of Finland, by doing research on the history,
nature and etiology of addictions. Based on a funding agreement with the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs, the foundation allocated approximately 200 000 euros for grants to study gambling problems. The Alko retail monopoly donated 75 000 euros for funding a forthcoming 2008 drinking habit survey.
