This research, therefore, aimed to analyze substance use in young people according to their sexual orientation through two studies using representative samples of adolescents. The analyses revealed only some differences in substance use by sexual minority groups. Bisexual adolescents showed a higher frequency of use in some indicators of tobacco, cannabis and alcohol, and lesbians showed a higher frequency of heavy alcohol use but no other indicators of differential use. Questioning adolescents, on the other hand, had the lowest rates of use compared to the other groups on many indicators.

New patients seeking treatment, and the time they take to seek it, have scarcely been described in Spain and Europe. The aim of the present study was to identify individual factors related to the delay in seeking treatment for opiate addiction for the first time. A cross-sectional study of opiate users admitted for the first time to treatment for addiction in public centers in the Community of Madrid between 2017-2019 (n = 366) was conducted. The time from the onset of consumption to treatment (TTT) was the dependent variable. A general descriptive analysis of users was performed, followed by a bivariate analysis after dividing the sample into two groups (TTT < 5 years and TTT ≥ 5 years). To identify those factors associated with an increase in TTT, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. The main profile of the study population was: middle-aged, Spanish, unemployed, male, smoked heroin user. The median TTT was: 9.27 years for men and 4.75 for women.

Between June and November 2021, an online survey (n = 91) and follow-up interviews (n = 26) were conducted with key informants - experts in drug demand reduction and quality assurance. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The survey showed that most countries have implemented the European Drug Prevention Quality Standards (EDPQS) in the prevention domain and the Minimum Quality Standards (MQS) in drug demand reduction. A variety of standards are applied in the treatment area and the EQUS minimum quality standards are widely known. The application of quality standards is least reported in the harm reduction service area.
