背景：酒精和药物滥用由于其高流行率和有害后果而引起重大的公共卫生问题。越来越多的研究支持了在酒精和药物滥用中调节积极情绪的困难所起的作用。然而，需要进行研究，以更好地了解对哪些人来说，调节积极情绪的困难与酒精和药物滥用最密切相关，从而为评估和治疗工作提供信息。目的本研究的目的是检查潜在的社会人口统计学调节因素（即年龄、性别、种族、种族、收入和受教育程度）在调节积极情绪困难与酒精和药物滥用之间的关系。方法从社区招募373名创伤暴露成人（女性57.1%，白人75.8%）。结果在调节积极情绪的困难（即性别、民族、种族和收入）和酒精使用（即性别）方面，不同社会人口统计学群体存在显著差异。适度分析显示，积极情绪调节困难与性别对药物滥用有显著的交互作用（b= 0.08,p< .001），其中女性（b= 0.11,p< .001）有显著相关性，而男性（b= 0.03,p= .05）无显著相关性。结论：研究结果表明，制定对性别敏感的药物滥用评估和治疗建议的重要性，以及将技术重点放在解决调节积极情绪的困难上。
BackgroundAlcohol and drug misuse present significant public health concerns due to their high prevalence and deleterious outcomes. A growing body of research provides support for the role of difficulties regulating positive emotions in alcohol and drug misuse. However, research is needed to better understand for whom difficulties regulating positive emotions are most strongly associated with alcohol and drug misuse to inform assessment and treatment efforts.ObjectivesThe goal of the present study was to examine potential sociodemographic moderators (i.e. age, gender, ethnicity, race, income, and educational attainment) in the relations between difficulties regulating positive emotions and alcohol and drug misuse.MethodsParticipants were 373 trauma-exposed adults (57.1% female, 75.8% White) recruited from the community.ResultsSignificant differences were identified across sociodemographic groups regarding difficulties regulating positive emotions (i.e. gender, ethnicity, race, and income) and alcohol use (i.e. gender). Moderation analyses revealed a significant interaction between difficulties regulating positive emotions and gender on drug misuse (b= 0.08,p< .001), such that the association was significant for females (b= 0.11,p< .001) but not males (b= .03,p= .05).ConclusionsResults suggest the importance of developing gender-sensitive recommendations for the assessment and treatment of substance misuse, and of incorporating techniques focused on addressing difficulties regulating positive emotions.
