Abstract

Aims: Research in the United States tends to indicate that immigrants from most sociogeographic regions, have considerably lower substance use disorder (SUD) rates than native born individuals (Alegria et al., 2007; Grant et al., 2004). We aimed to analyze the differences between immigrants and native born population regarding substance abuse and dependence. This objective was approached using data from the ARACAT cross-sectional multicenter study in primary care settings of Aragon and Catalonia. Materials and Methods: 3006 patients (1503 immigrants randomly selected and 1503 native born paired by age and gender) were interviewed using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Results: Reported substance abuse and dependence was more prevalent in native born population than immigrants (Alcohol abuse 5.1% vs. 2.6% p
