可卡因滥用者在门诊治疗方案中的辍学率平均为55%。我们试图找到与早期流失相关的患者预测变量。辍学者更有可能是非洲裔美国人或西班牙裔美国人，更年轻，更早开始滥用药物。在少数民族中，受教育程度较高的人辍学的可能性较小。受教育程度较低、吸烟或注射可卡因的患者特别容易过早停止治疗。这些研究结果的影响，并有前途的干预措施，减少辍学问题，进行了讨论。
The dropout rates among cocaine abusers in outpatient treatment programs have averaged 55%. We sought to find patient predictor variables associated with early attrition. Dropouts were more likely to be African-American or Hispanic-American, younger, with an earlier onset of substance abuse. Among minorities, those with more education were less likely to drop out. Patients who were less educated and smoked or injected cocaine were particularly prone to discontinue treatment prematurely. The implications of these findings, and promising interventions for reducing the dropout problem, are discussed.
