背景：女性退伍军人中酒精滥用的相关性尚不清楚。本研究探讨酒精滥用，人口/军事相关的特征，人际暴力暴露，创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和抑郁症状严重程度之间的关联。方法：参与者是369名退伍军人新英格兰医疗保健系统的女性退伍军人患者。参与者完成了一项纸笔邮件调查，其中包括对酒精滥用，人际暴力和心理困扰的有效评估。结果如下：年轻，成年期身体虐待，军事性创伤，过去一年的亲密伴侣的心理攻击，创伤后应激障碍和抑郁症状的严重程度与酒精滥用显着的单变量关联（如不安全的饮酒水平，酒精使用障碍的存在或发病，个人内部酒精相关的问题，和/或人际酒精相关的问题）。当在逻辑回归模型中检查时，这些关联中的一对仍然显着。结论：研究结果表明，女性退伍军人谁是酒精使用障碍的风险和/或正在经历酒精相关的问题可能会受益于筛选和干预工作，考虑到人际暴力暴露和心理健康症状的个案基础上。研究结果还表明，未来研究女性退伍军人滥用药物的相关因素和风险因素的重要性。
Background: The correlates of alcohol misuse among female Veterans are not well understood. The present study explored associations among alcohol misuse, demographic/military-related characteristics, interpersonal violence exposure, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression symptom severity. Method: Participants were 369 female Veteran patients of the VA New England Healthcare System. Participants completed a paper-and-pencil mail survey that included validated assessments of alcohol misuse, interpersonal violence, and psychological distress. Results: Younger age, adulthood physical abuse, military sexual trauma, past-year psychological aggression by an intimate partner, and PTSD and depression symptom severity showed significant univariate associations with alcohol misuse (as indicated by unsafe drinking levels, presence or incipience of an alcohol use disorder, intrapersonal alcohol-related concerns, and/or interpersonal alcohol-related concerns). A couple of these associations remained significant when examined in logistic regression models. Conclusions: Findings suggest that female Veterans who are at risk for alcohol use disorders and/or are experiencing alcohol-related problems may benefit from screening and intervention efforts that take into account interpersonal violence exposures and mental health symptoms on a case-by-case basis. Results also suggest the importance of future research examining correlates and risk factors for substance misuse among female Veterans.
