本研究调查了曾接受和未接受药物滥用障碍治疗的甲基苯丙胺 (MA) 使用者样本 (N=563) 的死亡原因、寿命损失年数以及与死亡率相关的健康和药物使用特征，这些特征在 8 至 10 年间。死者报告说，他们开始使用 MA 的原因与幸存的 MA 使用者不同，其中一些差异因治疗状态而异。研究结果提供了关于不同 MA 用户样本的长期健康和死亡率结果的更多细节，这可能为针对治疗和未治疗人群的可比较和不同需求的公共卫生策略提供信息。
This study examines causes of death, years of life lost, and health and drug use characteristics associated with mortality over an 8–10 year period in a sample of methamphetamine (MA) users who had and had not received substance use disorder treatment (N=563). Decedents reported initiating their MA use for different reasons than surviving MA users, and some of these differences varied by treatment status. Study findings provide additional detail on long-term health and mortality outcomes in a diverse sample of MA users, which may inform public health strategies targeting the comparable and divergent needs of treated and untreated populations.
