EV0023 E-PosterAddictionCross-sectional study # Binge drinking as an indicator of cumulative substance-related and sexual risk in underground rave settings: a public health and addiction perspective BINGE DRINKING AS A MARKER OF CUMULATIVE SUBSTANCE-RELATED AND SEXUAL RISK IN UNDERGROUND RAVE SETTINGS: A PUBLIC HEALTH AND ADDICTIONS APPROACH Presenter: Fran Calvo Country: Spain Among underground rave attendees, recent binge drinking functioned less as an isolated drinking behavior and more as a cumulative risk indicator identifying individuals in whom substance-related and sexual risks clustered. The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of recent binge drinking among underground rave attendees, examine its associations with substance-related and sexual risk behaviors, and investigate gender-specific patterns of risk clustering. A cross-sectional, anonymous survey was conducted with a sample of 253 adults who had attended at least one underground rave in Spain in the previous 12 months. The primary exposure variable was binge drinking in the past 30 days. Analyses used bivariate tests and binary logistic regression, with models adjusted for age, gender, and frequency of rave attendance; informed consent was obtained and ethical approval was secured. Overall, 48.2% of participants reported binge drinking in the past 30 days. Substance-related risks (simultaneous polysubstance use, drinking on an empty stomach, consuming high-alcohol-content beverages, and sharing drinks) and sexual risks (sex under the influence of substances, increased propensity to engage in sexual activity under the influence of substances, unplanned sex, and sex with strangers) clustered more strongly among those who reported binge drinking. Gender-specific patterns showed stronger associations with substance-related risk practices among men, and with sexual risk indicators and contexts associated with vulnerability among women. The authors emphasize that binge drinking may serve as a practical screening indicator for identifying rave attendees exposed to multiple, interconnected risks, and that prevention should focus not only on the presence of binge drinking but also on the risks that cluster around it in different groups. From a public health perspective, they recommend integrating strategies focused on safer drinking, harm reduction for polysubstance use, sexual health, and consent, alongside gender-sensitive outreach tailored to informal nightlife settings.
