The authors examined lifetime exposure to a range of traumatic events in 106 abstinent, treatment-engaged (85% residential; 15% outpatient), alcohol-dependent women (n = 53) and men without current or lifetime posttraumatic stress disorder. Alcohol-dependent women reported greater severity of childhood trauma, but similar lifetime exposure to traumatic events compared with men. Alcohol-dependent women without cocaine abuse or TB (n = 10) reported greater severity of childhood trauma than women with (n = 43), and men with (n = 21) or without (n = 32) cocaine abuse or dependence. Results extend previously observed gender differences in trauma histories among alcohol-dependent adults and point to potential gender- and substance-specific drug co-addiction effects that may have been influenced by trauma exposure.
作者研究了 106 名已戒酒且接受治疗的(85%住院;15%门诊)、酒精依赖的女性(n=53)和男性(n=53)一生中接触一系列创伤性事件的情况,这些男性没有当前或终身创伤后应激障碍。与男性相比,酒精依赖的女性报告了更严重的儿童期创伤,但一生中接触创伤性事件的情况相似。没有可卡因滥用或结核(n=10)的酒精依赖女性(n=10)报告的儿童期创伤比有可卡因滥用或依赖的女性(n=43)和男性(n=21)或没有可卡因滥用或依赖的男性(n=32)更严重。研究结果扩展了以前在酒精依赖成年人中观察到的创伤史方面的性别差异,并指出可能存在性别和物质特异性药物共成瘾的影响,这些影响可能受到创伤暴露的影响。
