Mission	The IVO is a national bureau with its headquarters in Rotterdam. The aim of the IVO is the acquisition and dissemination of scientific knowledge on lifestyle, addiction and related social developments. In this way the IVO explores and seeks solutions for the physical, psychological and social issues related to various forms of addiction. The central themes of IVO research focus on the causes and consequences of the use of alcohol, cannabis, hard drugs, tobacco and prescription drugs, for the individual user and their direct environment, and for society as a whole. Besides substance use the IVO also investigates new forms of potentially addictive behaviours such as gambling, using the Internet, and eating. |Attention for lifestyle and related social developments focuses mainly on research into the behaviour of groups such as marginalized users of hard drugs, prostitutes, problem youth, and the homeless.
Addition	In het IVO participeren de Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam, de Universiteit Maastricht, de Universiteit van Tilburg, de Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen en de Volksbond Rotterdam.
