Potential differences in sociodemographics, drug use, and measures of treatment outcome were examined among 137 male and 51 female cocaine-dependent outpatients. More women than men were unemployed, received public assistance, and were living with their children. Women reported fewer years of regular cocaine use, spending less money per week on cocaine, less prior treatment for cocaine abuse, and were more likely than men to test positive for cocaine at intake. With respect to other drug use, fewer women than men reported using sedatives and tested positive for sedatives at intake. Women reported a lower frequency of alcohol use before intake, and fewer women than men met criteria for cannabis dependence. Men and women experienced comparable improvement during the course of treatment and follow-up.
在137名男性和51名女性可卡因依赖门诊患者中，研究了社会人口统计学、药物使用及治疗结果指标方面的潜在差异。失业、接受公共援助并与子女同住的女性多于男性。女性报告的定期使用可卡因的年限较少，每周在可卡因上花费的钱较少，之前接受可卡因滥用治疗的次数较少，且在入院时比男性更有可能可卡因检测呈阳性。在其他药物使用方面，报告使用镇静剂及入院时镇静剂检测呈阳性的女性少于男性。女性报告入院前饮酒频率较低，符合大麻依赖标准的女性也少于男性。在治疗和随访过程中，男性和女性的改善情况相当。
