越来越多的女性是美国退伍军人。我们回顾了女性退伍军人中物质滥用的发生率和共病，以及物质使用的危险因素和后果。与男性退伍军人和非退伍军人相比，女性退伍军人可能有更高的药物滥用以及共病精神和医学障碍的比率。研究支持AUDIT-C作为女性退伍军人中酒精相关风险的标记物，但需要经过验证的药物筛查工具。我们讨论了在初级和专科护理环境中治疗女性退伍军人物质滥用的循证方法，以及知识差距和潜在的研究优先事项，以改善这一特殊人群的护理。
An increasing percentage of women are U.S. Military Veterans. We review the substance misuse rates and comorbidities and the risk factors for and consequences of substance use among women Veterans. Women Veterans may have higher rates of substance misuse and comorbid psychiatric and medical disorders than male Veterans and women who are not Veterans. Studies support the AUDIT-C as a scaled marker of alcohol-related risk among female Veterans, but validated drug screening instruments are needed. We discuss evidence-based approaches in terms of treating women Veterans' substance misuse in primary and specialty care settings, along with knowledge gaps and potential research priorities to improve care in this special population.
