Gender Differences among Older Black Admissions to Treatment. The TEDS Report

摘要

Data from the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) can be used to examine older Black substance abuse treatment admissions in 2007. This report focuses on non-Hispanic Black substance abuse treatment admissions that were aged 50 or older (hereafter referred to as 'older Black admissions') and highlights gender differences within this population. Of the approximately 58,800 older Black admissions in 2007, about 45,500 were male and 13,300 were female.
