Published Abstract Papers
Below is a list of abstract papers written by World Services in
the 1990's for presentation to global organizations such as the
International Federation of Non-Governmental Organizations (IFNGO)
and the International Council on Alcoholism and Addiction (ICAA).
In 1995 the External Affairs Committee of the former World Board of
Trustees sought and received approval from the full Board of
Trustees to distribute the papers to the NA Fellowship for use in
public information activities.
We present theses abstracts for their historical value.

Services and can be found on their website (2007 edition as of
this writing, October 25, 2009). It has been
updated for the present state of NA (number meetings, languages
