With 18% of the world’s population, China represents a major area of need for high quality addiction research. With 19% of global GDP it also has the capacity to be a major actor in the scientific endeavour to understand and mitigate problems of addiction. The journal, Addiction, convened a group of leading Chinese researchers to consider priorities for addiction research in the coming years. Thirty topics were identified; the top three priorities were regular surveys to assess trends in the extent and nature of the problem, high quality evaluations of treatment programmes and moderators of treatment effectiveness, and large scale evaluations of population-level interventions.
