Introduction:  cognitive impairments (CIs) are prevalent among drug users. Some studies have shown that substance users with CIs are likely to be involved in high-risk sexual behavior. The primary aim of our study was to determine the Causal association between cognitive impairments and risk behaviors in people substance users in Iran.
Method:  we applied a cross-sectional study among substance users between Jun 2022 and March 2023. Samples were recruited using snowball sampling and convenient sampling in 4 cities in Iran. Data collection was performed by trained interviewers. For data analysis coarsened exact matching (CEM) was applied to examine the causal association between CIs on injection and sexual risk behaviors.
Result : The result of final multivariable regression model  reveled that substance abusers with CIs were more likely to have  unprotected sex in three past month as compared to abusers without CIs status (OR: 2.3 95% CI: 1.4, 4.7).
Conclusion: The findings suggest that to improve and strength HIV risk-reduction interventions need to be given more attention to screening for CIs among substance users.
