这篇文章考察了有关老年人酗酒、非法药物使用和处方药滥用的研究出现在领先的老年学和物质滥用杂志上的程度。作者回顾了2000年至2010年在10种社会科学老年学期刊和10种社会科学药物滥用期刊上发表的论文，这些期刊的5年影响因子最高。选择的文章介绍了关于酒精、物质或处方滥用的原始研究，年龄在50岁及以上；并通过与老龄化和物质滥用相关的医学主题标题和标题和摘要的单词搜索来确定(N=634)。作者审阅了每篇文章的全文，并一致决定是否将其纳入最终样本。在分别发表在10大老年学和药物滥用杂志上的19953篇文章中，181篇文章符合报告与老年人药物使用障碍有关的研究结果的标准。具体地说，来自十大老年学期刊的0.9%(102篇)和来自十大药物滥用期刊的1.0%(8253篇)的文章符合标准。大多数发表的文章涉及酒精滥用/滥用或多物质滥用，很少有文章涉及非法药物使用或滥用处方药。在10种老年学期刊和10种药物滥用期刊上发表的文章中，只有不到1%的文章涉及老年人的药物滥用问题。治疗健康和/或精神健康问题的从业者在没有正确了解并发物质使用障碍的作用的情况下，在准确识别和治疗老年人口中的这些疾病方面处于劣势。
This article examines the extent to which studies of alcohol abuse, illicit drug use, and prescription drug abuse among older adults appear in the leading gerontological and substance abuse journals. The authors reviewed articles published in the 10 social science gerontological journals and the 10 social science substance abuse journals with the highest 5-year impact factors in PubMed from 2000 to 2010. Articles were selected that presented original research on alcohol, substance, or prescription abuse with older adults aged 50 and older; and were identified through aging and substance abuse-related Medical Subject Headings and word searches of titles and abstracts (N = 634). Full text of each article was reviewed by the authors, and consensus determined inclusion in the final sample. Of the 19,953 articles published respectively in the top 10 gerontological and substance abuse journals, 181 articles met the inclusion criteria of reporting findings related to substance use disorders among older adults. Specifically, 0.9% (102 of 11,700) of articles from the top 10 gerontology journals and 1.0% (79 of 8,253) of articles from the top 10 substance abuse journals met the criteria. Most published articles addressed alcohol misuse/abuse or polysubstance abuse with few articles addressing illicit drug use or the misuse of prescription medications. Less than 1% of articles published in the 10 gerontology journals and the 10 substance abuse journals with the highest 5-year impact scores addressed substance abuse in older adults. Practitioners treating health and/or mental health problems are at a disadvantage in accurately identifying and treating these conditions in older adult populations without a proper understanding of the role of comorbid substance use disorders.
