The Optimus International Consensus Guidance for Monitoring User-Reported Outcomes of Opioid Maintenance Treatment
Opioid use disorder is a major cause of drug-related harm and mortality. These can be reduced by expanded access to evidence-based and highly effective opioid agonist maintenance treatment or therapy (OMT). There is a lack of consensus on how to assess opioid use disorder treatment outcomes, and key health outcomes are often omitted. We report the results of a Delphi study to produce service user- and public health–centred international consensus…
Assessing educational disparities in Covid-19 related excess mortality in Spain
Introduction: Data on the increase in mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic based on individuals' socioeconomic positions are limited. This study examines this increase in mortality in Spain during the epidemic waves of 2020 and 2021. Methods: We calculated the overall and cause-specific mortality rates during the 2017-2019 pre-pandemic period and four epidemic periods in 2020 and 2021 (first, second, third-fourth, and fifth-sixth waves). Mortal…
Key mental health differences in conflict-related sexual violence and how sex, severity, and early intervention impact on improvement
Our study suggests that psychological attention of survivors within the first 72 h should be a priority. MHPSS programmes addressing CRSV should be inclusive to all patients, and gender-neutral approaches to ensure access, safety, confidentiality, and non-discrimination for all survivors should be developed

Opioid Agonist Maintenance Treatment Outcomes—The Optimus International Consensus Towards Evidence-Based and Patient-Centred Care, an Interim Report
Non-medical opioid use is a major public health concern causing high mortality. While opioid agonist maintenance treatment (OMT) is a key life-saving intervention, there is (a) no international consensus on opioid treatment outcomes and (b) few opioid treatment outcome studies include key (public) health outcomes, such as overdose or HIV/hepatitis C. We report the rationale and study protocol for, and preliminary results of, an ongoing internatio…
Awareness and Use of HIV Self-Testing Among Men Who Have Sex With Men Remains Low in Spain 2 Years After Its Authorization
Objectives: HIV self-testing has been available in Spain since 2017 as a diagnostic tool to promote earlier diagnosis. We aimed to assess awareness and previous use of HIV self-testing in a sample of men who have sex with men (MSM) recruited online more than 2 years after its legal authorization in Spain. Methods: We analyzed 5,492 MSM recruited between May and July 2020 in gay dating apps/websites and other social networks. We estimated the prop…
Characterization of Cyberbullying Victimization and Perpetration Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Spain
Cyberbullying is an extremely damaging form of interpersonal violence. Little is yet known about cyberbullying behaviors in the child and youth population during the COVID-19 pandemic and what effect this reduction in face-to-face social interactions has had on an increase in socialization via the Internet and cyberbullying. The present study is a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted in young people between the ages of 12 and 27 years atte…
Cannabis recreativo y cannabinoides terapéuticos, ni mezclados ni agitados
Severity, symptomatology, and treatment duration for mental health disorders
We demonstrate a threshold at which patients were most likely to improve (3 sessions for mild or moderate patients; 6 sessions for severe). In addition, we identify the specific types of stress and symptom severity that affected the number of sessions needed to achieve successful outcomes, and highlight that some stress types (especially torture or having a relative killed) were specifically linked to PTSD and depression. Therefore, we emphasize …
Estimating the Prevalence of Recreational Opioid Use in Spain Using a Multiplier Method
Frequency, Types, and Manifestations of Partner Sexual Violence, Non-Partner Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment
A greater emphasis needs to be placed on reporting sexual violence in its various forms. Rape within intimate partnerships ought to be investigated and studied in greater depth
Socioeconomic differences in Covid-19 infection, hospitalisation and mortality in urban areas in a region in the South of Europe
Income inequalities by geographical area were found in the incidence of COVID-19. The strengths of the association increased when analysing the severe outcomes of hospitalisations and, above all, deaths
Association of Opioid Agonist Treatment With All-Cause Mortality and Specific Causes of Death Among People With Opioid Dependence
Importance Mortality among people with opioid dependence is higher than that of the general population. Opioid agonist treatment (OAT) is an effective treatment for opioid dependence; however, there has not yet been a systematic review on the relationship between OAT and specific causes of mortality. Objective To estimate the association of time receiving OAT with mortality. Data Sources The Embase, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO databases were searched t…
Preference towards HIV Self-Testing above Other Testing Options in a Sample of Men Who Have Sex with Men from Five European Countries
We analyzed men who have sex with men (MSM) from Denmark, Germany, Greece, Portugal and Spain to identify who would choose HIV self-testing as their preferred testing method and assessed their preferred setting to acquire a self-testing kit and to confirm a reactive result. In 2016, we recruited an online sample of 3725 HIV-negative MSM. We used Poisson regression to identify factors associated with choosing self-testing as the preferred testing …

Salud mental en España y diferencias por sexo y por comunidades autónomas
Describir la evolución de la morbilidad psíquica en la población adulta española en 2006, 2011 y 2017. Estudiar la salud mental en 2017, determinando la prevalencia de morbilidad psíquica, consumo de psicofármacos, diagnóstico y salud autopercibida. Todo ello tanto en el ámbito nacional como por comunidades autónomas, y diferenciando entre hombres y mujeres. Estudio transversal. Fuente de información: Encuesta Nacional de Salud de los años 2006, …
The incorporation of HIV self-testing as an exclusive option among men who have sex with men in Spain
HIV self-testing could become the exclusive testing option for more than a third of our participants. It was chosen as the exclusive option especially by older, at risk and under-tested MSM. Self-testing strategies need to especially consider the linkage to care process. In this sense, only a small fraction would not know how to react and virtually nobody reported taking no action if obtaining a reactive result
High risk men who have sex with men in Spain are reporting low intentions of actively seeking HIV testing
We identified a group of high risk and undertested MSM that could be behind a substantial proportion of the UAIs with potential of transmission/acquisition of HIV. Given their low willingness to seek an HIV test and low risk perception, they constitute a population that will probably require approaches other than client initiated strategies
Mortality risk during and after opioid substitution treatment
Changes in directly alcohol-attributable mortality during the great recession by employment status in Spain
Background Macroeconomic fluctuations can impact differentially on alcohol-related problems across sociodemographic groups. We assess trend changes in directly alcohol-attributable (DAA) mortality in the population aged 25–64 during the post-2008 recession in Spain according to employment status and other sociodemographic factors. Methods Nationwide cohort study covering 21.9 million people living in Spain in 2001. People were classified by emplo…
Low HIV testing uptake following diagnosis of a sexually transmitted infection in Spain
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are recognized as one of the conditions in which HIV testing is most clearly indicated. We analyse whether people diagnosed with an STI are being tested for HIV according to the experience of participants in an outreach rapid testing programme in Spain. Between 2008 and 2010, 6293 individuals underwent rapid testing and completed a self-administered questionnaire. We calculated the percentage of individuals …

No differences in quality of life between men and women undergoing HIV antiretroviral treatment. Impact of demographic, clinical and psychosocial factors
INTRODUCTION: The health-related quality of life (HRQL) is therefore a highly important tool for the evaluation of the health status of HIV positive patients. However, very little information is available about the differences between HRQL in men and women. The aim of this study is to analyse gender differences in HRQL in HIV positive patients. METHODOLOGY: A sample group of 540 patients infected with HIV and undergoing antiretroviral treatment w…
HCV seroconversion among never-injecting heroin users at baseline
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…
