Abstract

Background: Women Veterans who experience mental health and substance use disorders (SUDs) are at risk for a variety of health and psychosocial disparities.

Methods: This study analyzed data from the 2015-2019 versions of the National Survey on Drug Use and Health conducted by the SAMHSA.

Results: Approximately 37% of women Veterans with a past-year SUD received outpatient mental health treatment, compared to 26% of women non-Veterans (OR = 1.65, [1.04-2.62], p = 0.014) and 22.8% of men Veterans (OR = 1.96, [1.19-3.24], p = 0.004). However, 38% of women Veterans with SUD reported an inability to access mental health treatment within the past year, compared to 19% of men Veterans (OR = 2.64, [1.59-4.38], p < 0.001). Approximately 67% of women Veterans reported stigma-related barriers to mental health treatment access compared to 38% and 41% of women non-Veterans (OR = 3.23, [1.51-6.95], p < 0.001) and men-Veterans (OR = 2.92, [1.23 - 6.94], p = 0.007).

Conclusions: While women Veterans with SUD were more likely to access outpatient mental health treatment and were more likely to be prescribed psychotropic medication than their counterparts, they were also more likely to report an inability to access mental health treatment within the last year.

2015-2019年患有物质使用障碍的女性退伍军人的心理健康和物质使用治疗收据

背景：经历精神健康和物质使用障碍（sud）的女性退伍军人面临各种健康和社会心理差异的风险。方法：本研究分析了SAMHSA进行的2015-2019年全国药物使用与健康调查的数据。结果：大约37%的女性退伍军人在过去一年的SUD中接受了门诊心理健康治疗，而26%的女性非退伍军人（OR = 1.65, [1.04-2.62], p = 0.014）和22.8%的男性退伍军人（OR = 1.96, [1.19-3.24], p = 0.004）。然而，38%患有SUD的女性退伍军人报告在过去一年内无法获得心理健康治疗，而男性退伍军人的这一比例为19% （OR = 2.64, [1.59-4.38], p p p = 0.007）。结论：虽然患有SUD的女性退伍军人比她们的同行更有可能获得门诊心理健康治疗，更有可能获得处方精神药物，但她们也更有可能报告在过去一年内无法获得心理健康治疗。
