BackgroundThe main objectives of this study are to describe the smoked cocaine user's profile in socially-depressed areas and their needs from a harm-reduction perspective, to investigate their use of smoking crack and compare the acute effects between injecting and smoking consumption.MethodsThe study took place in SAPS, Barcelona, Spain. Two focus group sessions were undertaken with a total of 8 drug users. Secondly, the 8 participants answered a structured questionnaire and in the course of the sessions, as a snowball activity, were trained to survey 6 other crack smokers.ResultsWe obtained 56 questionnaires. The majority of participants were from non-European Community countries (62.69%), 70.2% of participants referred to sharing the smoking equipment. The most frequent symptoms reported during smoked cocaine were mydriasis (83.33%)), perspiration (72.92%) and compulsive object search (70.83%) During the group sessions, participants said that smoked cocaine is much more addictive than injected cocaine and causes more anxiety. Participants also reported the difficulty of changing from injected use to smoked use, due to the larger amount of cocaine needed to reach the same effects as when having injected.ConclusionsWe can conclude that the research, focused on achieving greater knowledge of the smoked cocaine user's profile, their usage of smoking crack, consumption patterns and acute effects, should be incorporated into substance misuse interventions.

“…Otra barrera detectada, es que las SCH no están suficientemente adaptadas para los usuarios de cocaína, dado que muchos refieren que son lugares molestos para disfrutar de la experiencia de consumo y, en consecuencia, prefieren consumir en vía pública u otros lugares. Este aspecto, indica la necesidad de diseñar SCH para el consumo de cocaína con mayor amplitud, funcionalidad y libre de elementos que alteren la percepción de los usuarios, tal como se recomienda en estudios anteriores (27,54,55) . A su vez, en la ciudad de Barcelona, solo se dispone de un espacio para el consumo de drogas por vía pulmonar, lo que supone una limitación para aquellos usuarios que adquieren drogas en barrios en los que no se dispone de SCH adaptadas a estos consumos, siendo recomendable la apertura de más espacios para el consumo por vía pulmonar, como ya ha sido recomendado en trabajos anteriores (8,54,56) .…”

Las salas de consumo higiénico (SCH) son espacios para consumir drogas en condiciones higiénicas y seguras. Sin embargo, los usuarios alternan sus prácticas de consumo en vía pública y viviendas, entornos que conllevan mayores riesgos a la salud. Para comprender mejor este problema, se realizó un estudio etnográfico en diferentes espacios de consumo de Barcelona, incluyendo SCH, vía pública y viviendas. Centrándonos en los discursos y prácticas de consumo, se recogieron datos mediante la observación participante y entrevistas semiestructuradas a 16 usuarios de las SCH. Los resultados muestran que, en los diferentes espacios de consumo, los usuarios experimentan varios tipos de placer. Además, estos espacios están asociados a diversos daños, los cuales son gestionados por los usuarios autorregulando sus prácticas. Estos aspectos, por lo tanto, deben tenerse en cuenta para diseñar acciones de reducción de daños adaptadas a las necesidades de los usuarios.

“…(69) Concerning cocaine consumption, the post-consumption syndrome has been described, which is characterized by common symptoms such as verbosity, diaphoresis, mydriasis, hyper-salivation, search for non-existent objects, and visual hallucinations. (36,37,39) Furthermore, in the Bilbao DCR, in more than 50% of the cases, the blood pressure levels were higher than 140/90, accompanied by precordial pain and other common symptoms. (39) In view of this symptomatic picture, the need of emergency care is remarked.…”

“…(39) In view of this symptomatic picture, the need of emergency care is remarked. (36,39) a psycho-pathological level, psychoticism is highlighted (62%), with frequent self-referential delusion, illusions, and hallucinations. (38) Considering all the above mentioned, the facilities should be adapted to provide a special place for this type of drug consumption.…”

“…(38) Considering all the above mentioned, the facilities should be adapted to provide a special place for this type of drug consumption. (36)(37)(38) In general, more opioid overdose cases than adverse reactions to cocaine have been registered. (17,35,51) The registered percentage varies depending on the year and the drug consumption center.…”

The aim of this review is to provide a new interpretation of the results found in the scientific literature on drug consumption rooms (DCR) in Spain published from 2000-2013. A search was carried out using several data bases -PubMed, Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciencias de la Salud (IBECS), Índice Médico Español (IME), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and SIIS Centro de Documentación y Estudios -as well as other secondary sources and information solicited from professionals of DCR. A total of 21 articles or research reports, 17 presentations or speeches in specialized conferences, 5 journalistic reports and 2 institutional records were included in a meta-synthesis divided into different thematic areas. The opening of a DCR is a public health strategy with positive effects for drug consumers and society as a whole, but this review demonstrates that technical, strategic and functional improvements are necessary to increase their effectiveness.
