Attendance at four types of venues (nightclubs, electronic dance music events/music festivals, venues playing live music, and pubs/bars) was measured at 6 months. Frequency of recent ecstasy use (last 12 months) was measured at 12 and 30 months. A prediction model of frequent ecstasy use at 30 months was developed using Poisson regression reporting adjusted relative risk. Findings: Regular attendance at nightclubs (≥monthly, adjusted relative risk 6.21, confidence interval 2.30–16.76) was associated with frequent ecstasy use at 30 months, independently of ecstasy use expectancies,...
