Abstract

Purpose of review: The goal was to review recent (1/2015-2/2020) evidence of impulsivity as a feature of substance use disorders or use of substances (alcohol, cannabis, nicotine, opioids, stimulants) in males compared to females in terms of: a) impulsivity in substance-using groups (or substance-using compared to control groups), and b) relationship between impulsivity and substance use behavior, clinical severity, or treatment outcomes.

Recent findings: Of 361 papers identified by the searches, 69 met inclusion criteria, and 39 were highlighted for considering sex/gender in relation to impulsivity in substance-using populations. Taken together, findings supported higher impulsivity in males and females who use substances, relative to controls; and higher impulsivity was linked with more substance use/severity in both sex/genders. There were mixed findings regarding male versus female differences in impulsivity among individuals who use substances, or in the magnitude of the relationship between impulsivity and substance use severity.

Summary: The current body of evidence does not point to a consistent sex/gender difference in the role of impulsivity within and across substance use disorders. Impulsivity is a clinically-relevant construct for male and female individuals who use substances, across a range of substances.

跨物质使用类别的冲动:性别/性别的考虑。

回顾目的:目的是回顾最近(2015年1月- 2020年2月)冲动作为物质使用障碍或物质使用(酒精、大麻、尼古丁、阿片类药物、兴奋剂)的特征在男性与女性中的证据:a)物质使用组(或与对照组相比物质使用组)的冲动，以及b)冲动与物质使用行为、临床严重程度或治疗结果之间的关系。最近的发现:在361篇论文中，69篇符合纳入标准，其中39篇因考虑到性/性别与药物使用人群冲动的关系而被突出显示。综上所述，研究结果表明，与对照组相比，使用药物的男性和女性的冲动性更高;在两性中，更高的冲动性与更多的物质使用/严重程度有关。在使用物质的个体中，男性和女性在冲动性方面的差异，或者冲动性和物质使用严重程度之间的关系的程度，有不同的发现。摘要:目前的大量证据并没有指出冲动性在物质使用障碍内部和跨物质使用障碍中的作用存在一致的性别差异。冲动性是一种临床相关的概念，适用于使用各种物质的男性和女性个体。

期刊介绍： Under the leadership of Emil Coccaro, Current Behavioral Neuroscience Reports will provide an in-depth review of topics covering personality and impulse control disorders, psychosis, mood and anxiety disorders, genetics and neuroscience, geropsychiatry and cognitive disorders of late life, child and developmental psychiatry, addictions, and neuromodulation.We accomplish this aim by inviting international authorities to contribute review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. By providing clear, insightful balanced contributions, the journal intends to serve those involved in the field of behavioral neuroscience.
