The objective of this study was to determine whether there are gender-specific associations between trauma exposure and alcohol or drug relapse in alcohol-dependent adults. Participants were 51 men (n = 24) and women (n = 27) with alcohol dependence, 22 (43.1%) of whom relapsed during study participation. Severity of childhood trauma; number of lifetime events evoking fear, helplessness, or horror; and current trauma symptoms all predicted relapse in women, but not in men. These findings highlight the importance of assessing trauma history and providing treatment of trauma-related symptoms for individuals with alcohol and drug dependence, and for women in particular.
这项研究的目的是确定创伤暴露与酒精依赖成年人的酒精或药物复吸之间是否存在性别特异性关联。参与者为 51 名男性(n=24)和女性(n=27),他们均患有酒精依赖,其中 22 名(43.1%)在研究期间复发。儿童期创伤严重程度;一生中引发恐惧、无助或恐惧的事件数量;以及当前的创伤症状均预测女性复发,但不预测男性复发。这些发现强调了评估创伤史和为有酒精和药物依赖的个体,特别是女性,提供与创伤相关症状的治疗的重要性。
