Concurrent Polysubstance Use Profiles in Young Nightlife Attendees in Argentina
BACKGROUND: Polysubstance use is common in nightlife settings and has been linked to a variety of negative outcomes. Harm reduction strategies (HRS), which aim to reduce harms, may differ across consumption patterns. This paper identifies polysubstance use classes among young attendees of recreational settings, examines their HRS use, and explores associations with negative outcomes by use pattern. METHODS: 596 Argentinean polysubstance users age…
Understanding Chemsex in Young Argentine Adults
Objectives This study aimed to assess the occurrence of chemsex and its characteristics among young adults in Argentina, to describe the negative consequences experienced by those who engage in this practice, and to analyze socio-demographic, drug use and cognitive factors associated with the occurrence, frequency and negative consequences of chemsex.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 758 young adults (18–35) residing in Argentin…
Explaining Avoidance of Simultaneous Alcohol and Cannabis Use
Simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use (SAC) poses greater health risks than using each substance separately or concurrently. This two-wave prospective study examined (1) the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) capacity to explain the frequency of avoiding SAC use; (2) whether adding past behavior and habit strength—non-deliberative processes—improved prediction; and (3) model invariance across sex and college status. A community sample of 378 young …

Drunkenness and Regretted Online Social Risk Behaviors
Background: Alcohol use and the use of social media and other forms of digital communications is characteristic of young adults.

Met…
Impulsivity Predicts Relapse—but Not Dropout—in Outpatients with SUD
The objective of this study was to compare performance on a comprehensive impulsivity battery of SUD outpatients who dropout versus those who do not dropout and of abstainers versus relapsers at 3 and 12 months of treatment follow-up. Impulsivity was measured at the start of treatment and adherence and relapse at 3 and 12 months. The participants are 115 outpatients with SUD. Motor impulsivity (Affective Go/No Go), attentional impulsivity (Stroop…
A longitudinal study among young adults into the predictive effect of perceived efficacy of behavioural strategies and the moderating role of drinking motives on use of protective behavioural strategi…
Harm Reduction Strategies and Drug-Related Negative Consequences in the Dance Music Scene
Introduction Although simultaneous polysubstance use (SPU) is associated with greater harms than concurrent polysubstance use (CPU), no previous research has examined the effectiveness of harm reduction strategies in reducing drug-related harms in people who use drugs simultaneously and whether these strategies have a differential impact on drug-related negative consequences according to SPU patterns. Objectives: to examine the relationship betwe…
Personalidad, edad de inicio y problemas por consumo de alcohol en estudiantes
The aims were to describe the occurrence of alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems in Argentinean students, and analyze differences in risk behavior, alcohol-related problems and sensitivity to reward and punishment, as a function of heavy episodic drinking, drunkenness episodes and age at drinking onset. We analyzed the relationship between alcohol consumption and drinking social norms. The final sample was composed by 106 students. Su…
