The Feasibility of Goal Management Training to Address Cognitive Impairment in an Outpatient Alcohol Treatment Population
People with alcohol use disorder (AUD) exhibit high rates of comorbidity with cognitive deficits, particularly for executive function (EF). Cognitive impairment has been related to poorer outcomes in substance use treatment. Goal management training (GMT), a structured, therapist-led manualised intervention targeting EF, has demonstrated positive preliminary results in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment programs.. However, these studies have …
Mortality risk during and after opioid substitution treatment
Quality of life in a community sample of young cocaine and/or heroin users
High hepatitis C virus prevalence and incidence in a community cohort of young heroin injectors in a context of extensive harm reduction programmes
BACKGROUND: Cohort studies on hepatitis C virus (HCV) among drug injectors are scarcer than studies on HIV. Combined harm reduction interventions (HRIs) can prevent HCV infection. Spain has a medium-high coverage of HRIs. METHODS: 513 young heroin users who injected drugs in the past 12 months (recent injectors) were street-recruited in 2001-2003 and followed until 2006 in three Spanish cities; 137 were anti-HCV seronegative, 77 of whom had ≥1 fo…
Has health in Spain been declining since the economic crisis
BACKGROUND: The economic recession starting in 2008 may be having negative effects on health. PURPOSE: We aimed to identify and characterise changes in trends in 15 health indicators in Spain during the recession. METHODS: Joinpoint regression and average annual percent change (AAPC) were used to compare trends. RESULTS: Premature mortality rates from several causes of death, except from cancer, showed statistically significant downward trends du…
HCV seroconversion among never-injecting heroin users at baseline
Infrequent opioid overdose risk reduction behaviours among young adult heroin users in cities with wide coverage of HIV prevention programmes
More free syringes, fewer drug injectors in the case of Spain
Do Young Heroin Users in Madrid, Barcelona and Seville have Sufficient Knowledge of the Risk Factors for Unintentional Opioid Overdose
The impact of drug-related deaths on mortality among young adults in Madrid
The trend from 1983 to 1990 of drug-related mortality (defined as the sum of deaths from acute drug reactions and the acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome [AIDS] in drug users) among the population 15 to 39 years of age in Madrid, Spain, was studied and compared with mortality from all causes. All of the mortality rates increased from 1983 to 1990: all causes, from 101/100,000 to 148/100,000; acute drug reactions, from 3/100,000 to 15/100,000; and…
IV drug users
STUDY OBJECTIVE--To determine whether HIV positive intravenous drug users (IVDUs) who were receiving outpatient treatment for opiate and cocaine abuse or dependence used practices aimed at reducing the spread of HIV. DESIGN--Cross sectional study of behaviour and HIV serostatus in IVDUs. SETTING--A nationwide sample, from 83 health centres for outpatient treatment, stratified by autonomous regions. PARTICIPANTS--Altogether 1074 IVDUs were recruit…
