Sex differences are examined for the period during which addiction develops after initial narcotics use. About 25% of the 546 heroin addicts studied became addicted within 1 month after initial use. More women than men fell into this category, and, on the average, women took less time to become addicted. For the majority of those studied (whose addiction occurred 1 month or longer after initial use), patterns of narcotic use during this phase of the addiction career were not significantly different by sex within Anglo or Chicano groups. Differences between female and male addicts in interpersonal relationships, other substance use, drug dealing, legal employment, and criminal behaviors parallel traditional sex role expectations.
研究了初次使用麻醉品后成瘾发展期间的性别差异。在546名接受研究的海洛因成瘾者中，约25%的人在初次使用后1个月内就成瘾了。归入这一类别的女性比男性多，而且平均而言，女性成瘾所需时间更短。对于大多数接受研究的人（其成瘾发生在初次使用后1个月或更长时间），在盎格鲁或奇卡诺群体中，成瘾过程这一阶段的麻醉品使用模式在性别上没有显著差异。女性和男性成瘾者在人际关系、其他物质使用、毒品交易、合法就业和犯罪行为方面的差异符合传统的性别角色期望。
