Among young men entering compulsory military service in Asturias, Spain, between 1995 and 1999, lifetime use of MDMA was 10.9%, past-year use 7.8%, and past-month use 4.5%, ranking fifth among illicit drugs ever tried. Once MDMA was used, reuse was common: 71% of ever-users had used it in the past year, and 41% in the past month. MDMA users had more extensive drug histories than non-users. Those who used MDMA in the past year scored higher on Neuroticism and Psychoticism subscales of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-A and reported greater sensation seeking.
