摘要

“婴儿潮”一代由于其规模和巨大的影响力一直备受关注。随着这一群体年龄的增长，老年人的药物使用正在成为一个公共卫生问题。人们认为，由于人口老龄化和寿命延长，老年人将更多地利用医疗保健系统。这个衰老过程是如何与物质使用问题和物质使用障碍的流行相交叉的，目前还没有完全了解，但这是越来越多研究的主题。此外，对性别陈规定型观念的态度以及有关大麻使用的法律不断变化，都增加了治疗使用药物的老年人的挑战。在本文中，我们与马里兰大学社会工作学院负责研究的副院长Paul Sacco博士讨论了这些问题。萨科博士在圣路易斯华盛顿大学完成他的博士学位之前，做了10年的精神科社会工作者。他的研究主要集中在行为健康和成瘾，重点是生命历程的发展。

Older adults and substance use: an interview with Paul Sacco, MSW, PhD, University of Maryland School of Social Work

The ‘baby boomer’ generation has always commanded attention due to its magnitude and outsize influence. As this cohort ages, substance use among old adults is emerging as a public health concern. It is acknowledged that older adults will utilize the health care system in larger numbers due to population aging and increased longevity. How this aging process does and will intersect with the prevalence of substance use problems and substance use disorders is not fully understood but is the subject of increasing research. In addition, attitudes toward gender stereotypes and changing laws regarding cannabis use are adding to the challenges of treating older adults who use substances. In this article, we discuss these issues with Dr. Paul Sacco, Associate Dean for Research at the University of Maryland School of Social Work. Dr. Sacco practiced for 10 years as a psychiatric social worker before returning to complete his PhD at Washington University in St. Louis. His research centers primarily on behavioral health and addictions with a focus on life course development.
