摘要
在美国退伍军人中,赌博和药物使用障碍(SUDs)非常普遍,而且经常并发。然而,人们对退伍军人中 SUDs 和赌博的临床和行为相关性及自杀风险知之甚少,而这有助于为针对这两种疾病并发的针对性干预措施提供信息。在目前的研究中,我们分析了具有全国代表性的 4069 名退伍军人样本数据,这些退伍军人参加了全国退伍军人健康和复原力研究(National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study)。我们对退伍军人的终生药物依赖和过去一年的赌博情况(简要问题赌博筛查)进行了自我报告测量。研究人员进行了多项式逻辑回归分析,以检查四组之间的差异:非 SUD/非赌博组,40.3%;仅 SUD 组,27.3%;仅赌博组,16.3%;以及 SUD + 赌博组,16.1%。纯赌博组、纯药物滥用组和药物滥用+赌博组相对于非药物滥用/非赌博组报告了更多的不良童年经历。与非药物滥用/非赌博组相比,单纯药物滥用组和药物滥用+赌博组在所有生前和当前临床及创伤变量方面的几率更高。与只患 SUD 组相比,SUD + 赌博组出现自杀、非自杀性自伤、尼古丁依赖和心理健康治疗的几率更高,与只赌博组相比,SUD + 赌博组出现所有评估临床指标的几率更高。研究结果表明,在美国退伍军人中,药物滥用和赌博与巨大的心理创伤和心理健康负担有关,其中药物滥用和赌博并发尤其与自杀/自残和心理健康治疗有关。研究结果强调了针对这一人群中的药物滥用、赌博和相关问题(如与创伤有关的心理健康困难)进行多成分评估和干预的重要性。
Gambling and Substance Use Disorders in U.S. Military Veterans: Prevalence, Clinical Characteristics, and Suicide Risk.
Gambling and substance use disorders (SUDs) are prevalent among U.S. military veterans and often co-occur. However, little is known about the clinical and behavioral correlates and suicidal risk of SUDs and gambling among veterans that can help inform targeted interventions for their co-occurrence. In the current study, we analyzed data from a nationally representative sample of 4069 veterans who participated in the National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study. Self-reported measures of lifetime SUDs and past-year gambling (Brief Problem Gambling Screen) were administered. A multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine differences between four groups: non-SUD/non-gambling, 40.3%; SUD-only 27.3%; Gambling-only 16.3%; and SUD + Gambling, 16.1%. The Gambling-only, SUD-only, and SUD + Gambling groups reported more adverse childhood experiences relative to the non-SUD/non-gambling group. The SUD-only and SUD + Gambling groups had higher odds for all lifetime and current clinical and trauma variables relative to the non-SUD/non-gambling group. The SUD + Gambling group had higher odds of suicidality, non-suicidal self-injury, nicotine dependence and mental health treatment relative to the SUD-only group and all assessed clinical measures relative to the Gambling-only group. Results suggest that SUDs and gambling are associated with substantial trauma and mental health burden among U.S. veterans, with co-occurring SUDs and gambling linked particularly to suicidality/self-harm and mental health treatment. The findings underscore the importance of multicomponent assessments and interventions targeting SUDs, gambling, and related concerns, such as trauma-related mental health difficulties, in this population.
