Clinical efforts to reduce risk for Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) among young adults rely on the empirical identification of risk factors for addictive behaviors in this population. Exposure to traumatic events and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) have been linked with SUDs in various populations. Emerging data, particularly from adolescent samples, suggest that traumatic event exposure increases risk for SUDs for young women, but not young men. The purpose of the current study was to examine trauma-related risk factors for alcohol and drug abuse among a national sample of young adults and compare such risk factors between men and women. Participants were 1753 young adults who participated in the 7-8 year follow-up telephone-based survey to the original National Survey of Adolescents. In the full sample, 29.1% met criteria for substance abuse. Trauma-related risk factors for alcohol and drug abuse differed for men and women. Clinical implications of these results are discussed.
降低青年成年人物质使用障碍（SUDs）风险的临床工作依赖于对该人群成瘾行为风险因素的实证识别。创伤性事件暴露和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）在不同人群中都与物质使用障碍有关。新出现的数据，尤其是来自青少年样本的数据表明，创伤性事件暴露会增加年轻女性患物质使用障碍的风险，但不会增加年轻男性的风险。本研究的目的是在全国范围内的青年成年人样本中检查与创伤相关的酒精和药物滥用风险因素，并比较男性和女性之间的此类风险因素。参与者是1753名青年成年人，他们参与了对原始全国青少年调查的7 - 8年随访电话调查。在整个样本中，29.1%符合物质滥用标准。男性和女性与酒精和药物滥用相关的创伤风险因素有所不同。讨论了这些结果的临床意义。
