Studies from University of California provide new data on adverse drug reactions.(Report)
According to a study from the United States, "Women report extensive histories of childhood abuse, often leading to addiction. Studies assessing the same effects for men are lacking."
"This study describes childhood adverse events (CAEs) among methamphetamine (MA)-dependent men and women and assesses the relationship of CAEs to the onset and severity of dependence. Baseline and three-year interview data were collected for 236 men and 351 women. Dependent variables included onset of MA and severity of dependence. Women reported greater occurrence of all types of CAEs than men (28% vs. 13%,p
The researchers concluded: "This demonstrates the intergenerational cycle of addiction, and indicates the need for early intervention, which could prevent the onset of MA use and reduce the course of addiction."
Messina and colleagues published their study in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs (Childhood Adverse Events and Methamphetamine Use Among Men and Women. Journal of Psychoactive Drugs, 2008;(Suppl. 5):399-409).
