In the dynamic landscape of European scientific research, evaluating public institutions' scientific activities is crucial for transparency regarding the use of public funds and their contribution to citizen welfare. However, there is a stark scarcity of studies examining scientific communication strategies in European research entities, particular...

Background: Addiction models highlight the impact of craving in driving compulsive behaviors. Craving states, which are inherently emotional, can be modulated by both incidental and intentional emotion regulation mechanisms. The former operate pre-consciously, while the latter operate during conscious craving stages. Method: Craving is experimental...

Craving plays a fundamental role in decision-making models of non-substance addictive behaviors (see complementary presentation by the same authors in this conference). Craving is conceptualized as an emotion-driven state. Therefore, its control is a matter of emotion regulation, with two types of mechanisms involved: incidental and intentional. In...

Background Compulsivity is the hallmark of addiction progression and, as a construct, has played an important role in unveiling the etiological pathways from learning mechanisms underlying addictive behavior to harms resulting from it. However, a sound use of the compulsivity construct in the field of behavioral addictions has been hindered to date...
Thesis
Full-text available
The measurement of the impact of scientific activity has become a task of great importance in the current European research landscape. This study proposes a two-pronged strategy, integrating both social and scientific perspectives, with the aim of fostering a synergy between these two dimensions. Through a comparative analysis of data extracted fro...

Purpose of Review Here, we systematically review all available evidence on the triadic relationship between positive and negative urgency, craving, and severity of symptoms of candidate behavioral addictions. Recent Findings Current theoretical models attribute a central importance to craving in the chronification and prognosis of behavioral addic...

Literatura reciente reporta que la modalidad de juego de azar preferida o más frecuentemente practicada se relaciona con diversas medidas de bienestar psicológico y juego problemático (Mathieu et al., 2020). Siguiendo la clasificación propuesta por Navas et al. (2017), en este trabajo se pretende explorar las asociaciones existentes entre las prefe...

This study explores the relevance of the breathalyzer test as a harm reduction tool in outreach interventions implemented in nightlife environments. Specifically, it analyzes (i) gender and age differences on Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC); (ii) the association between BAC levels and expected effects and (iii) the relationship between BAC levels...
Article
Background: Recent studies have shown that ketamine use has serious adverse consequences. However, no studies have focused on the strategies that users carry out to protect themselves from such potential harm. Objectives: (i) analyze harm reduction strategies, risk behaviors, and harms in nonmedical/recreational ketamine users; (ii) analyze the...
Article
Background and aims: There is a lack of instruments for measuring ketamine substance use disorders. The aims were (i) to estimate the reliability and provide evidence of validity of the Severity of Dependence Scale (SDS) in a sample of recreational users, and (ii) propose a cut-off point to determine the presence of dependence. Methods: We condu...

Conference Paper
Full-text available
Ketamine use has spread in Spain in recent years. In order to inform harm reduction projects, an online research was carried out. Among other variables, sources of information, topics of interest for ketamine users, harms experienced, risk behaviours and harm reduction behaviours were researched in a sample of 392 ketamine users. Ketamine users ten...
