Gender effects on drug use, abuse, and dependence: a special analysis of results from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health
Abstract
Background Gender is increasingly being studied for risk and protective factors underlying substance abuse and addiction. Objective The aim of this study was to assess gender differences in rates of substance abuse and dependence among drug users. Methods A national population sample was examined, focusing on 2 age groups (youths, aged 12-17 years, and young adults, aged 18-25 years) and several commonly abused substances (alcohol, marijuana, and nonmedical prescription medication use). Combined annual data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), aggregated from 2002-2005, were used for gender comparisons of rates of substance use, as well as abuse and dependence, among users. Results Overall rates of substance use were significantly higher for males than for females (P < 0.01 for all substances except sedatives and tranquilizers); however, patterns of use, abuse, or dependence among users differed by age group and drug. Interestingly, patterns for youths differed from the overall population and from young adults. Girls exceeded boys in their use of alcohol (P < 0.01) and their nonmedical use of psychotherapeutics (ie, prescription-type pain relievers, stimulants, tranquilizers, sedatives) (P < 0.01); among users, girls were significantly more likely to be dependent on the latter (P < 0.01). Boys reported significantly greater use and abuse of and dependence on marijuana (P < 0.01). In the young adults, the proportion of female users reporting dependence on cocaine or psychotherapeutics was significantly higher than for male users (P < 0.01), who nonetheless reported significantly greater use of these drugs (P < 0.01). Among users, males generally exceeded females in meeting abuse criteria (P < 0.01 for marijuana among 12- to 17-year-olds and for alcohol, marijuana, and psychotherapeutics among 18- to 25-year-olds), with some exceptions mainly in the youngest cohort. Conclusions In this national population sample of youths and young adults, these findings suggest that gender, age, and substance of abuse may all play a role in the observed patterns of drug use, abuse, and dependence. Understanding the reasons for these differences and continuing to evaluate these patterns over time could help in the development of targeted and more effective prevention and treatment interventions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
