Email: aonsogema@uniovi.es Attrition rates pose a considerable problem in smoking cessation intervention, especially with hard-to-treat population (Lappan, Brown & Hendricks, 2019; Lien, Bolstad & Bramness, 2021). In this sense, non-attendance to a smoking cessation treatment decreases effectiveness of these interventions (Garey et al., 2020; Martínez-Vispo, López-Durán, Rodríguez-Cano, Senra & Becoña, 2021), and also brings about several resource-related costs (e.g., therapists time, urinalysis, materials) (Brorson, Arnevik, Rand-hendriksen & Duckert, 2013; Cooper, Kline, Baier & Feeny, 2018). All of the above results in a decrease in the cost-effectiveness of smoking cessation treatments in this population (Cooper et al., 2018). Although multiple researches on dropping out of smoking cessation treatments has been examined in SUD population, to our knowledge, no previous studies have examined specific predictors associated with treatment attendance in this population. Analyzing which factors predict non-attendance is expected to be clinically informative because it will enable to improve the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of existing smoking treatments. Amid this background, this exploratory study sought to examine which baseline variables (i.e., sociodemographic, tobacco, and substance use related variables) were associated with non-attendance to the smoking cessation treatment. This is a secondary study derived from a parent randomized controlled trial (Aonso-Diego, González-Roz, Krotter, García-Pérez & Secades-Villa, 2021). The eligibility criteria were: being ≥ 18 years old, smoking at least 10 cigarettes per day within the last year, and being enrolled in an outpatient substance use treatment. Participants were excluded if they had severe mental disorders (i.e., active psychotic disorder, or suicidal ideation), current cannabis use, or were receiving any other smoking cessation treatment, either psychological or pharmacological. Out of 101 participants who were assessed in an individual baseline interview, 15 were excluded for not meeting inclusion criteria, and a total of 86 patients were assigned to smoking cessation treatment. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed with attrition groups as dependent variable. The independent variables introduced were: sociodemographic (i.e., sex, age, employment status, marital status, and educational level), smoking features (i.e., cigarettes per day, years of regular use, nicotine dependence, urine cotinine levels, previous quit attempts, and current motivation to quit), and substance use related characteristics, that is, primary substance use (cocaine, alcohol, opioids, or cannabis), days of substance abstinence, and days on substance use treatment.

Most parents are concerned that their children may be addicted to IAD/IGD/MPA. Female gender is associated with MPA, while male gender is associated with IGD.

Studies conducted during the pandemic in the most affected countries have shown high rates of symptoms linked to moderate-severe anxiety, fear of contagion and disorders linked to trauma and depression (Marel et al., 2021; Shanahan et al., 2019). These psychiatric symptoms have been associated with risk factors such as female sex, feelings of loneliness and financial instability, among others (Marel et al., 2021; Shanahan et al., 2019). Such factors are also likely to affect other risk behaviours and generate changes in the consumption of alcohol and other addictive psychoactive substances (Clay & Parker, 2020). It has been shown that an increase in the level of stress and anxiety increases the motivation to use psychoactive substances as a coping mechanism; in this case, it is clear that the global pandemic was a highly stressful event (Marel et al., 2021; Shanahan et al., 2019). It has been argued that the increase in fear and concern regarding the rise of COVID-19 infections would generate an increase in consumption and in the age of onset, while others have suggested that trafficking of illicit drugs, and thus their sale and purchase, would be seriously disrupted during lockdown, thereby leading to a significant reduction in the use of such drugs and with it an increase in withdrawal syndromes (Cisneros & Cunningham, 2021; Dubey et al., 2020; Kumar et al., 2022; Mallet, Dubertret & Le Strat, 2021). It is also understood that COVID-19 disrupts the treatment of As was to be expected, the impact of the SARSCoV2 pandemic and the months-long lockdown it caused brought about changes in the patterns of addictive psychoactive substance use, in other non-substance addictive behaviours and in the population’s mental health (García-Álvarez, Fuente-Tomás, Sáiz, García-Portilla & Bobes, 2020). Since then, numerous studies have been conducted in an attempt to determine the consequences of these changes for the physical and mental health of the population, both general and clinical. This editorial presents the main findings and lessons of this abundant research. In March 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak of SARS-CoV2, which causes the COVID-19 disease, a global pandemic. Governments enforced isolation rules and restrictions on the movement of the population to limit the rise of cases and the associated morbidity and mortality. Spain was one of the worst affected countries and the one that imposed the tightest restrictions in Europe. These restrictions affected the entire population, but the most vulnerable, such as patients with substance use disorders (SUD) or mental health problems, were affected in a way that has not yet been fully understood (Marel, Mills & Teesson, 2021).
