The authors investigated remission from any type of substance dependence in Latinos, African Americans, and Whites using the 2001-2002 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions, a national sample of community adults. Analyses focused on the 4,520 participants who indicated prior-to-last-year dependence on either alcohol or drugs. Outcome was categorized as current substance dependence or abuse, current use, or abstinence. Whites reported greater likelihood of substance dependence, and African Americans and Latinos were just as likely to remit as Whites once social support and age are controlled. The outcome variable "time to remission" produced a similar pattern of results.
作者利用2001 - 2002年全国酒精及相关疾病流行病学调查(一项社区成年人全国样本调查),对拉丁裔、非裔美国人和白人中各种类型物质依赖的缓解情况进行了调查。分析集中在4520名参与者身上,这些参与者表示在去年之前曾对酒精或药物有依赖。结果分为当前物质依赖或滥用、当前使用或戒断。白人报告的物质依赖可能性更大,而一旦控制了社会支持和年龄因素,非裔美国人和拉丁裔与白人一样有可能实现缓解。结果变量“缓解时间”产生了类似的结果模式。
