FACTORS RELATED TO FEMALE COCAINE ABUSE

1988年家庭药物调查，由国家药物研究所委托， 药物滥用，显示，虽然每年可卡因使用减少， 在过去三年中，可卡因的频繁使用（每周一次）有所增加。 这 增加的主要原因是引进了强效可卡因 衍生物，这是正在使用的妇女越来越频繁。 研究的主要目的是描述和比较女性iV， 在六个概念领域内：毒品， 相关行为，社会支持，家庭功能，身心 健康/疾病，以及感知的治疗需求。 这种描述性的， 探索性研究采用雪球样本相关设计。 调查数据，采用面对面访谈的两组可卡因 虐待妇女：A组，进入戒毒所的妇女 并且每周使用超过100美元的可卡因;以及B组，早期的朋友 受试者虽然不一定接受治疗，但符合样本 标准和使用超过100.00美元/周。 在两小时的数据中 收集会议，每个受试者将进行客户访谈， 田纳西自我概念量表，贝克抑郁量表，个人资源 问卷调查和家庭基因图。 目标样本量为200。 数据 将允许对数据完整性进行描述性分析和评估， 相关分析，并在需要时，统计建模的 数据 此外，将使用以下方法进行亚组分析： 描述性测试和两个样本测试。

The 1988 Household Drug Survey, commissioned by the National Institute of Drug Abuse, revealed that although yearly cocaine use has decreased in the past three years, frequent cocaine use (weekly) has increased. This increase is primarily due to the introduction of crack, a potent cocaine derivative, which is being used by women with increasing frequency. The major aims of the research study are to describe and compare female iV, inhalation and crack cocaine abuse within six conceptual areas: drug- related behaviors, social support, family functioning, physical nad mental health/illness, and perceived treatment needs. This descriptive, exploratory study uses a correlational design with a snow-ball sample. Survey data, using face-to-face interviews from two groups of cocaine abusing women: Group A, those who have entered a drug treatment facility and use more than $100.00/week of cocaine; and Group B, friends of earlier subjects who, although not necessarily in treatment, meet the sample criteria and use greater than $100.00/week. During the two-hour data collection session, each subject will be administered the Client Interview, Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, Personal Resource Questionnaire and a Family Genogram. Target sample size is 200. The data will allow for descriptive analyses and assessment of data integrity, correlational analyses, and when required, statistical modeling of the data. Additionally, subgroup analyses will be carried out using descriptive as well as two sample tests.
