这项前瞻性纵向研究调查了来自加利福尼亚州13个县的32个社区门诊和住院项目的1073名甲基苯丙胺滥用患者(567名女性，506名男性)的治疗结果。在入院时、入院后3个月和9个月收集数据。除了一个例外，从基线到随访的所有领域都观察到了改善，通过成瘾严重程度指数衡量，无论是女性还是男性，无论是哪种方式。与男性相比，女性在家庭关系和医疗问题方面表现出更大的改善，在所有其他领域也表现出类似的改善，尽管有更多的女性失业，负有育儿责任，与也使用酒精或毒品的人生活在一起，遭受过身体或性虐待，并报告了更多的精神症状。讨论了对服务改进的影响。(C)2005 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
This prospective longitudinal study examined treatment outcomes among 1,073 methamphetamine-abusing patients (567 women, 506 men) from 32 community-based outpatient and residential programs in 13 California counties. Data were collected at intake and at 3 months and 9 months after admission. With one exception, improvements from baseline to follow-up were observed in all areas measured by the Addiction Severity Index for both women and men in either modality. Compared to men, women demonstrated greater improvement in family relationships and medical problems, and similar improvement in all other areas, despite the fact that more women were unemployed, had childcare responsibilities, were living with someone who also used alcohol or drugs, had been physically or sexually abused, and reported more psychiatric symptoms. Implications for service improvement are discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
