目的：探讨巴尔的摩355名治疗中和治疗外阿片类药物成瘾成年人的性别差异。研究方法：成瘾严重程度指数和其他变量进行了比较：1）治疗中的女性与治疗外的女性; 2）治疗外：女性与男性; 3）治疗中：女性与男性。结果：分析表明，治疗中和治疗外的妇女工作较少，使用更多的可卡因比他们的男性同行（ps. 01）。此外，与接受治疗的妇女相比，未接受治疗的妇女更经常使用海洛因和可卡因，在毒品上花费更多的钱，赚取更多的非法收入，接受的治疗更少（ps. 01）。结论：调查结果表明，类阿片成瘾妇女的吸毒和就业问题更为严重，并强调需要提供针对性别的戒毒治疗服务。
Objective: Gender differences were explored among 355 in- and out-of-treatment opioid-addicted adults in Baltimore. Methods: Addiction Severity Index and other variables were compared among: 1) in-treatment women vs. out-of-treatment women; 2) out-of-treatment: women vs. men; and, 3) in-treatment: women vs. men. Results: Analysis indicated that in-treatment and out-of-treatment women worked less and used more cocaine than their male counterparts (ps .01). Moreover, out-of-treatment women used heroin and cocaine more often, spent more money on drugs, earned more illegal income, and had fewer treatments than in-treatment women (ps .01). Conclusions: Findings indicate greater severity of drug and employment problems of opioid-addicted women and underline the need for gender-specific drug-treatment services.
