This presentation provides an annual review of the highest impact peer-reviewed publications and newsmaker events across the field of Addiction Psychiatry from 2023. The goal of this session is to provide concise, critical summaries of the most important peer-reviewed publications and newsmaker events of the past year, organized using key topic areas such as addiction neurobiology, epidemiology, pharmacology, intoxication and withdrawal syndromes, screening and diagnosis, mutual help, harm reduction, dual diagnoses, and pharmacologic and behavioral interventions. We will provide more in-depth focus on a small, select group of articles that are high impact and likely to fundamentally change clinical practice. The Chairs and Presenters will survey the most prominent medical, psychiatric, and addiction journals as well as newsletters to select and rank recent articles by publication metrics (Journal Impact Factor, Most Downloaded and Most Viewed, and Altmetric scores), expert opinion, and topic focus. Articles will cover key events and topics in Addiction Psychiatry from 2023. The Panel of Discussants is comprised of senior AAAP leaders and experts to provide commentary on the articles and engage in audience questions and discussion.
