A 30-year follow-up of substance misusers in Sweden – differences in predictors of mortality between women and men
TLDR
Imprisonment was highly predictive of mortality for the women, suggesting that this group is important to pay particular attention to in treatment for substance misuse, and differences in the importance of social factors need to be investigated more thoroughly.Abstract:
Background: Differing results on gender specific factors related to mortality risks among substance misusers highlights the need for further research. The present article is based on a 30-year foll...read more

Social inclusion of clients treated for substance abuse in Sweden in the 1980s: A 27-year follow-up
TL;DR: The fairly high proportion of clients moving between being adverse and non-adverse during the follow-up might support the perspective suggesting that dependence should not be considered as chronic.

The relation between out-of-home care, early school failure, and premature mortality : a 30-year follow-up of people treated for substance misuse in Sweden
TL;DR: Examination of premature mortality in relation to early school failure (drop-out from compulsory school) and OHC experience in childhood among clients who were in treatment for substance misuse in the early 1980s showed the OHC population had a higher prevalence of school failure compared with clients who had not been exposed to childhood OHC.

Effect of substance use on premature mortality among severely hypertensive African Americans
TL;DR: The need for targeted interventions to support African Americans who have poorly controlled hypertension and use illicit substances, as a means of reducing excess mortality is suggested.

TL;DR: There is a need to develop and test effective treatments for specific subgroups such as older women with substance use disorders, as well as those with co-occurring substance use and psychiatric disorders such as eating disorders, and some greater effectiveness has been demonstrated by treatments that address problems more common to substance-abusing women.

Biological basis of sex differences in drug abuse: preclinical and clinical studies.
TL;DR: Preclinical and clinical studies indicate that ovarian hormones, particularly estrogen, play a role in producing sex differences in drug abuse, and it is necessary to provide information on how to design more effective drug abuse treatment programs and resources that are sex specific.
