Many substance abusers present with elevated scores on self-report measures of psychopathological symptoms. We decided to examine this in a sample of 194 crack cocaine abusers. Results indicated that these individuals reported significantly greater psychopathological distress than manual-provided norms, and that this distress was not related to recency of cocaine use. Rank order correlation suggests that a pattern of scores specific to cocaine abusers may exist. Finally, while intake scores of psychopathological distress did not predict treatment retention/outcome, those successfully completing 12 weeks of outpatient treatment were both cocaine abstinent and less psychiatrically distressed.
许多药物滥用者在心理病理症状的自我报告测量中得分较高。我们决定在194名快克可卡因滥用者的样本中对此进行研究。结果表明，这些个体报告的心理病理困扰明显高于手册提供的常模，且这种困扰与可卡因使用的近期情况无关。等级相关表明，可能存在一种特定于可卡因滥用者的得分模式。最后，虽然心理病理困扰的入院得分不能预测治疗保留率/治疗结果，但成功完成12周门诊治疗的患者既戒除了可卡因，且心理困扰也较少。
