Attitudes and views regarding law enforcement activity at large outdoor raves in Israel
Harm reduction services, such as drug testing kiosks and ‘safe zones’ are often advocated for reducing the harms of drug use among rave and festival attendees. However, interaction with law enforcement can undermine efforts at introducing formal harm reduction services. This cross-sectional, client-oriented study aims to frame the potential components of a tolerance-based policy in outdoor raves in Israel, which assumes a continued police presenc…
Mountain or molehill? A scoping review of evidence on an opioid use problem in Israel
In the past decade, health authorities in various jurisdictions have reported an upsurge in prescription opioid utilisation and an unprecedented rise in opioid-related mortality. In this scoping review, we weigh current epidemiological evidence associated with a prescription opioid use problem in Israel. We summarise available indicators on prescription opioid use, availability, mortality, morbidity, and service utilisation. Although most availab…

Why Switch? - Motivations for Self-Substitution of Illegal Drugs
Background Self-substitution is the conscious switch from one drug to another for reasons such as price, availability, desired effect, or perceived benefit of the substitute drug. Purpose/Objectives: This study aimed to describe drug use patterns and motivations associated with substitution. We examined correlates of lifetime substitution among individuals with substance use disorder. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 771 treatment-enrolled ind…
Community Rehabilitation and Hospitalizations Among People With Chronic Psychotic Disorder
Objective: Co-occurrence of chronic psychotic disorders and substance use disorder (SUD) is clinically challenging and increasingly prevalent. In 2000, legislation was passed in Israel to foster rehabilitation and integration in the community of persons with mental health disorders. In 2010, the need to allocate resources for patients with these co-occurring disorders (COD) was officially recognized. Yet, most rehabilitation services were not spe…
Chronic Use of Synthetic Cannabinoids Is Associated With Impairment in Working Memory and Mental Flexibility
Repeated use of SCs is associated with impairment in executive functions and emotional processing. These alterations are associated with depression and schizotypal traits and symptoms. This adds to existing evidence on the long-term consequences of SC drugs and their risks for mental health
Personality Traits and Psychotic Proneness Among Chronic Synthetic Cannabinoid Users
These results show that chronic SC users differ from natural cannabis users and non-users on dimensions of specific personality traits and schizotypy that may indicate psychotic proneness

Recent Use of Synthetic Cannabinoids, Synthetic Opioids, and Other Psychoactive Drug Groups among High-risk Drug Users
The use of synthetic cannabinoids receptor agonists (SCRA) and synthetic opioids is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This study examined the patterns-of-use of prescription oral opioids or transdermal fentanyl formulations, and SCRA, among 342 patients enrolled in treatment for drug-dependence in Israel. 16.1% of participants reported recent (past-12 months) SCRA use, while 24.9% reported recent use of prescription oral opioid…
