本文报告了2005-2006年卡特里娜飓风和丽塔飓风对德克萨斯州毒品和酒精治疗的影响。调查结果基于对567例与飓风有关的入院管理数据的二次分析，以及对11个治疗项目的20名工作人员样本的访谈数据。卡特里娜撤离者在人口统计、主要问题物质和治疗需求方面与丽塔撤离者不同，而项目工作人员的经历和改善备灾准备所需的变化则更为相似。需要进一步的系统研究来记录风暴对这些地区和其他受影响地区的中期和长期影响。
This paper reports on the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on drug and alcohol treatment in Texas in 2005-2006. Findings are based on a secondary analysis of administrative data on 567 hurricane-related admissions and on interview data from a sample of 20 staff in 11 treatment programs. Katrina evacuees differed from Rita clients in terms of demographics and primary problem substances and treatment needs, while the experiences of program staff and needed changes to improve disaster readiness were more similar. Additional systematic research is needed to document the intermediate and long-term impacts of the storms in these and other affected areas.
