BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: We investigated gender differences in individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) receiving inpatient services and entering a randomized controlled trial comparing extended-release naltrexone to buprenorphine.
Participants (N = 570) provided demographic, substance use, and psychiatric information.
Women were significantly younger, more likely to identify as bisexual, live with a sexual partner, be financially dependent, and less likely employed. Women reported significantly greater psychiatric comorbidity and risk behaviors, shorter duration but similar age of onset of opioid use.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS: Findings underscore economic, psychiatric, and infection vulnerability among women with OUD.
Interventions targeting these disparities should be explored, as women may face complicated treatment initiation, retention, and recovery. (Am J Addict 2018;27:465-470).
我们调查了接受住院治疗并参加比较纳曲酮缓释片和丁丙诺啡的随机对照试验的阿片类药物使用障碍(OUD)患者的性别差异。
参与者(N=570)提供了人口统计学、物质使用和精神疾病信息。
女性明显更年轻,更可能认同双性恋,与性伴侣同居,经济上依赖他人,就业可能性较小。女性报告了更严重的精神共病和风险行为,阿片类药物使用的持续时间较短,但发病年龄相似。
讨论/结论:研究结果强调了 OUD 女性在经济、精神和感染方面的脆弱性。
应探索针对这些差异的干预措施,因为女性可能在治疗开始、维持和康复方面面临复杂的情况。(美国成瘾杂志 2018 年;27:465-470)。
