Institute Presentation


The IFT is a research institute in Munich with a main focus on substance use disorders (alcohol, illicit drugs, pharmaceuticals and tobacco), pathological gambling, adiposity and eating disorders. The emphasis of the two research departments is on basic and applied research related questions in the field of epidemiology and prevention / treatment on several levels (cognitive-affective, behavioural and psychosocial analysis).

Furthermore, to improve public health care, the IFT regularly transfers the latest scientific results to practicioners in the field by newsletters, numerous data monitoring systems as well as by an extensive education and training programme. Since its foundation in 1973 the IFT has been especially involved in the promotion of smoking cessation research and interventions. Besides having developed one of the leading smoking cessation treatment programs for adults in Germany, the IFT has a longstanding expertise in the prevention of substance abuse in children and adolescents and recently has developed a smoking cessation treatment program for adolescents which is being evaluated at the moment.
