本研究比较了马里兰州巴尔的摩寻求 (n=169) 和不寻求 (n=74) 美沙酮治疗的阿片类药物成瘾成年人的特征。进入治疗的参与者是从六个美沙酮治疗项目中招募的，而未接受治疗的参与者是使用有针对性的抽样方法从街头招募的。措施包括成瘾严重程度指数、补充问卷和尿液药物测试。使用方差分析、chi(2) 和回归分析数据，保持关键背景变量不变。尽管样本之间在人口特征上没有差异，但未接受治疗的样本报告称，吸食海洛因、可卡因和酒精的天数显着增加，在毒品上花费的钱显着增加，并且在基线上赚取了更多的非法收入。
This study compared the characteristics of opioid-addicted adults seeking (n=169) and not seeking (n=74) methadone treatment in Baltimore, Maryland. Participants entering treatment were recruited from six methadone treatment programs, while out-of-treatment participants were recruited from the streets using targeted sampling methods. Measures included the Addiction Severity Index, a Supplemental Questionnaire, and urine drug test. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, chi(2), and regression, holding key background variables constant. Despite the lack of differences between the samples in demographic characteristics, the out-of-treatment sample reported significantly more days of heroin, cocaine, and alcohol use and spent significantly more money on drugs and earned more illegal income at baseline.
