Drug Abuse Epidemiology
Research group
Group Leader
Antonia Domingo Salvany
The aims of the group are to contribute to knowledge on the extent and impact of drug abuse in the population, including aspects related to violence and illegal drug market activities, and to assist in the implementation of suitable health care initiatives. With these aims in mind, the group carries out studies to assess the magnitude of drug consumption in the population, and contributes to the study of its consequences, such as psychiatric comorbidity, the presence of blood-borne infections, and impairment of health-related quality of life. We are also involved in studies that seek to evaluate instruments to detect, in different environments, substance use disorders and potential associated psychiatric problems.
