Abstract

A cross-sectional study of 1,551 clients receiving care in ten community-based rural mental health care systems assessed problem behaviors and psychiatric symptoms among three groups of severely mentally ill clients: those with a current substance abuse problem, those with a history of substance abuse but no current problem, and those with no history of substance abuse problems. Clients with a current substance abuse problem were younger than clients who had no history of such problems and had more symptoms of anger, more trouble with the law, and more suicidal threats than clients in the other two groups.

摘要

一项针对1551名在十个农村社区心理健康护理系统接受治疗的患者的横断面研究，评估了三组严重精神疾病患者的问题行为和精神症状：目前存在药物滥用问题的患者、有药物滥用史但目前无问题的患者以及无药物滥用问题史的患者。目前存在药物滥用问题的患者比无此类问题史的患者更年轻，并且与其他两组患者相比，他们有更多的愤怒症状、更多的法律问题以及更多的自杀威胁。
