该分析描述了来自大型公共资助治疗系统的广泛（N = 350）前客户的甲基苯丙胺（MA）使用行为，并检查了男性和女性在吸毒史、MA启动和激励因素、MA相关问题、获取、分配、制造和治疗特征方面的差异。结果显示，使用多种药物、治疗前长期使用 MA、主要通过朋友开始使用、常见的寻求感觉的动机（寻找乐趣、兴奋和实验）、与使用 MA 相关的许多问题（包括偏执、暴力行为、幻觉、财务问题以及法律和工作问题），以及大多数人出售了 MA。性别差异出现在动机和启动途径、获得 MA 的机会、使用模式以及 MA 相关问题的某些方面。这种对行为和性别差异的描述可以为制定治疗策略和未来研究的出发点提供基础。 (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
This analysis describes methamphetamine (MA) use behaviors in a broad cross-section of (N = 350) former clients from a large publicly funded treatment system and examines differences between males and females in drug use history, MA initiation and motivators, MA-related problems, acquisition, distribution, manufacture, and treatment characteristics. Results show polydrug use, prolonged MA use before treatment, initiation primarily through friends, common sensation-seeking motivators (to have fun, get high, and experiment), numerous problems related to MA use (including paranoia, violent behavior, hallucinations, financial problems, and legal and work problems), and a majority who have sold MA. Gender differences appear in selected aspects of motivators and routes of initiation, access to MA, use patterns, and MA-related problems. Such description of behaviors and gender differences can provide a basis for development of treatment strategies and points of departure for future research. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
