Drug Treatment Outcomes: Is Sex a Factor?

- Summary

- Metrics

Abstract

A small random sample of data from the National CODAP system is used to determine and explain differences in treatment outcomes for men and women. Only small percentage differences, discerned through examination of categorical relationships between males and females, are found to exist. The authors conclude that this finding may suggest more positive outcomes for women in treatment since women experience more social prejudices than their male counterparts, and encounter greater barriers in completing treatment.
