Four medical specialty organizations conducted a survey of 294 departments in 98 medical schools and 1,124 residency programs to identify the number and type of curriculum units on substance abuse offered by these specialties. A curriculum unit was defined as a formal block of teaching on substance abuse. A total of 251 (85 percent) of the medical school departments and 828 (74 percent) of the residency programs responded. Of those, 175 (70 percent) of the medical school departments and 479 (58 percent) of the residency programs reported offering at least one curriculum unit on substance abuse. There was considerable variation among the four specialties in the number and percentage of departments or programs reporting such units. Overall, a majority of the units addressed both alcohol and other drugs, were required, and included a clinical component. Evaluations of content and teaching strategies are needed to examine the quality and adequacy of substance abuse training.
四个医学专业组织对98所医学院校的294个系和1124个住院医师培训项目进行了一项调查，以确定这些专业提供的关于药物滥用的课程单元的数量和类型。一个课程单元被定义为关于药物滥用的正式教学模块。共有251个（85%）医学院系和828个（74%）住院医师培训项目做出了回应。其中，175个（70%）医学院系和479个（58%）住院医师培训项目报告称提供了至少一个关于药物滥用的课程单元。在报告此类单元的系或项目的数量和百分比方面，这四个专业之间存在相当大的差异。总体而言，大多数单元涉及酒精和其他药物，是必修课，并且包含临床部分。需要对内容和教学策略进行评估，以检验药物滥用培训的质量和充分性。
