This study examines alcohol-related behavior of Black and White female problem drinkers. Subjects included 163 Whites and 38 Blacks currently in treatment. Findings indicate some similarities and important differences between Black and White women in terms of selected factors. When social background factors are held constant, race continues to be a significant predictor of selected drinking behavior factors. In addition, White problem-drinking women are more likely than their Black counterparts to perceive difficulties in male-female relations as a major cause of their alcohol problems. Implications for improving prevention and treatment services to women are discussed.
本研究考察了黑人和白人女性问题饮酒者与酒精相关的行为。研究对象包括163名正在接受治疗的白人女性和38名黑人女性。研究结果表明，在某些选定因素方面，黑人女性和白人女性存在一些相似之处和重要差异。当社会背景因素保持不变时，种族仍然是选定饮酒行为因素的一个重要预测指标。此外，白人问题饮酒女性比黑人问题饮酒女性更有可能将男女关系中的困难视为其酒精问题的主要原因。文中还讨论了对改善针对女性的预防和治疗服务的启示。
