Integration of harm reduction and treatment into care centres for substance use
HIV testing in clinical and community settings for an international sample of Latino immigrants and nonimmigrants
Latino/as in the U.S. and Spain make up a disproportionate percentage of cases of HIV infection, and often are diagnosed later than their non-Latino/a counterparts. Understanding the factors that affect HIV testing in different contexts is critical to best promote HIV testing, which is considered essential to both prevention and early treatment. This study explored differences in HIV testing rates among Latino/a participants in an international s…
The Role of Individual and Social Mediators in the Association Between Drug Consumption and Mental Health Among Adolescents in Barcelona
Drug consumption rooms in Catalonia
Effect of ageing and time since first heroin and cocaine use on mortality from external and natural causes in a Spanish cohort of drug users
Adolescent alcohol use and parental and adolescent socioeconomic position in six European cities
Across the six European cities, adolescent drinking was associated with adolescents' own SEP, but not with parental SEP. Socio-economic inequalities in adolescent drinking seem to stem from adolescents' own situation rather than that of their family
The impact of harm reduction programs and police interventions on the number of syringes collected from public spaces. A time series analysis in Barcelona, 2004–2014
Assessing gender disparities in excess mortality of heroin or cocaine users compared to the general population
Cross sectional study of factors associated to self-reported blood-borne infections among drug users
Among drug users in Catalonia, HIV, HCV and co-infection prevalence are still a big issue especially among IDUs. Women and drug users who have never injected drugs are groups with a significant risk of infection; this might be related to their high-risk behaviours and to being unaware of their serological status
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…
Mobile safe injecting facilities in Barcelona and Berlin
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
Health-related quality of life in young cocaine users and associated factors
Individual and community-level effects in the socioeconomic inequalities of Aids-related mortality in an urban area of southern Europe
Objective: To study socioeconomic inequalities in AIDS mortality in Barcelona, Spain, during the periods 1991–6 (before highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)) and 1997–2001 (post-HAART) taking into account individual as well as community effects of socioeconomic level. Design: Cross-sectional design. Setting: Barcelona, Spain. Participants: All residents aged ⩾20 years. All AIDS-related deaths occurring between 1991 and 2001 were studied. …
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
Injecting and HIV prevalence among young heroin users in three Spanish cities and their association with the delayed implementation of harm reduction programmes
Objectives: To evaluate changes in the prevalence of HIV infection among young heroin users in three Spanish cities, and their association with harm reduction programmes (HRPs). Methods: Two cross sectional studies. The 1995 study included 596 users; half were street recruited and half were recruited at drug treatment centres. The 2001–03 study included 981 street recruited users. Face to face interviews were conducted using a structured question…
Prevalence of Problematic Cocaine Consumption in a City of Southern Europe, Using Capture-Recapture with a Single List
A small area analysis estimating the prevalence of addiction to opioids in Barcelona, 1993
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine the distribution of opioid use prevalence in small areas and its relation with socioeconomic indicators. DESIGN: Capture-recapture was applied using data from the Barcelona Drug Information System for 1993 (treatment demands, hospital emergency room visits, deaths from heroin acute adverse reaction and pre-trial prison admissions). To avoid dependence between sources, a log-linear regression model with interactions w…
