abstract="BACKGROUND: In previous research projects of ours, we have succeeded in defining a psychopathology that appears to be specific to the substance use disorder, while remaining stable and independent of many factors and variables. The primary symptom dimensions considered were: W/BT, SS, S/P, PA, and V/S. <br><br>METHODS: Continuing this line of investigation, we tested the independence of this five-dimension psychopathology from ethnicity by assessing its five dimensions in migrant subjects with Heroin Use Disorder (M-HUD), and comparing them, after matching for age and gender, with Italian HUD patients (IT-HUD), selected from the Addiction PISA-DATASET in a naturalistic, case-control study. <br><br>RESULTS: Despite the differences regarding educational level, job typology and economic situation, M-HUD and IT-HUD patients showed the same severity and the same predominant typology in the five dimensions we consider specific to SUD. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The present study once again shed light on a specific aggregation of psychopathological symptoms in SUD patients, a finding that strengthens the credibility of the five-factor solution. © 2019, Pacini Editore S.p.A..
