Female crack users who sought treatment are a hard to find part of the population. We studied sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics of crack users undergoing treatment in psychosocial care centers for alcohol and other drugs in six Brazilian cities. We carried out a cross-sectional study of 816 crack users and collected data with the Addiction Severity Index. Women were more likely to be in vulnerable situations: had worst levels of education, were not receiving money enough to their basic needs; more likely to be HIV positive (10.1%), to report sexual abuse (34%), and to be separated from their children (20%).
寻求治疗的女性可卡因吸食者是人群中难以找到的一部分。我们研究了在巴西六个城市的酒精和其他毒品心理社会护理中心接受治疗的可卡因吸食者的社会人口学和行为特征。我们对816名可卡因吸食者进行了横断面研究，并使用成瘾严重程度指数收集数据。女性更有可能处于弱势状况：教育水平最差，没有足够的钱满足基本需求；更有可能感染艾滋病毒（10.1%），报告遭受性虐待（34%），以及与子女分离（20%）。
