Abstract

Demographic effects on the Trail Making Test (TMT), a test often used to screen for cognitive impairments, were examined in a sample of narcotic/other opiate abusers in drug abuse treatment programs. A sample was drawn from the Drug Abuse Treatment Outcome Study (DATOS). The DATOS was a naturalistic, prospective cohort study that collected data from 1991 through 1993 in 96 programs within 11 cities in the United States. The number of narcotic/other opiate abusers' scores available for analysis was 191. Data were analyzed to determine the effects of sex, ethnicity, age, and education on the two parts of the TMT in this sample of narcotic/other opiate abusers. The variables of age and education level were statistically significantly related to TMT parts A and B, and ethnicity was statistically significant for part B of the TMT. R-square values for overall models were moderate (A = .34, B = .24), suggesting that demographic effects on the TMT are moderate.

摘要

在药物滥用治疗项目中，对经常用于筛查认知障碍的连线测验（TMT）的人口统计学效应进行了研究，样本为麻醉品/其他阿片类药物滥用者。样本取自药物滥用治疗结果研究（DATOS）。DATOS是一项自然主义的前瞻性队列研究，于1991年至1993年在美国11个城市的96个项目中收集数据。可供分析的麻醉品/其他阿片类药物滥用者的分数数量为191个。对数据进行分析，以确定性别、种族、年龄和教育程度对该麻醉品/其他阿片类药物滥用者样本中TMT两个部分的影响。年龄和教育水平变量与TMT的A部分和B部分在统计学上显著相关，种族对TMT的B部分在统计学上显著相关。总体模型的决定系数值适中（A = 0.34，B = 0.24），表明人口统计学对TMT的影响适中。
