Trends in Adult Female Substance Abuse Treatment Admissions Reporting Primary Alcohol Abuse: 1997 to 2007. The TEDS Report

摘要

Data from the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) can be used to examine primary alcohol abuse among female substance abuse treatment admissions and discharges aged 18 or older (hereafter referred to as adult female admissions). The first section of this report presents trends in the proportion of adult female admissions reporting primary alcohol abuse between 1992 and 2007. Subsequent sections examine how the characteristics of adult female admissions reporting primary alcohol abuse have changed over time. The final section presents 2007 data on treatment outcomes or reasons for discharge from treatment for this population.
