It is important to gain a greater understanding of the perspectives of substance use among North African young people with a migratory background and social agents. Methodology: A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted. Purposive sampling methods were used to recruit 14 male participants and 9 social agents. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus groups, and processed by thematic analysis. Results: Four themes were identified: beginning of cross-border consumption that worsens at the reception centers; different ways of obtaining and accessing substances; reasons leading to substance use; and mental health care needs during the migration process. Discussion: The implementation of individual-centered and culturally adapted psychosocial support programs can significantly contribute to mitigating psychological challenges, preventing substance use, and promoting greater well-being among people with a migratory background.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/The Perspective of Young Maghrebi People With a Migratory Background and Their Social Agents on Substance Use During the Migration Process: A Qualitative Studyjournal article1552-7832https://doi.org/10.1177/10436596241297984https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/10436596241297984open access61mental healthtransients and migrantssubstance-related disordersnursing carequalitative researchCiencias Biomédicas24 Ciencias de la Vida
