OBJECTIVE
Racial-ethnic differences in referral source, diagnosis, and length of stay in substance abuse treatment were examined.
METHODS
Data from 495 African Americans, 492 Hispanics, and 497 non-Hispanic whites were analyzed.
RESULTS
Hispanics were less likely than whites to be referred by crisis services; African Americans were more likely than other groups to be referred from criminal justice settings. At admission Hispanics and African Americans were more likely to have a drug use disorder, and whites were more likely to have an alcohol use disorder. Both African Americans and Hispanics were more likely than whites to have a cluster B personality disorder diagnosis at discharge. African Americans had longer stays than other groups.
CONCLUSIONS
The findings could be used to design interventions to reduce disparities in inpatient substance abuse treatment.
目的
研究了在药物滥用治疗中，种族和民族差异在转介来源、诊断和住院时间方面的表现。
方法
对 495 名非裔美国人、492 名西班牙裔和 497 名非西班牙裔白人的数据进行了分析。
结果
与白人相比，西班牙裔人较少通过危机服务机构转介；而非裔美国人则比其他群体更有可能从刑事司法机构转介而来。在入院时，西班牙裔人和非裔美国人更有可能患有药物使用障碍，而白人则更有可能患有酒精使用障碍。出院时，非裔美国人和西班牙裔人更有可能被诊断为 B 型人格障碍。非裔美国人的住院时间比其他群体更长。
结论
这些发现可用于设计干预措施，以减少住院药物滥用治疗中的差异。
