Gender Differences among American Indian Treatment Admissions Aged 18 to 25

The TEDS Report - Gender Differences among American Indian Treatment Admissions Aged 18 to 25

Highlights:

Among American Indian substance abuse treatment admissions aged 18 to 25 in 2007, males were more likely than females to report alcohol (61.1 vs. 44.7 percent) or marijuana (22.4 vs. 16.0 percent) as the primary substance of abuse; however, young adult female American Indian admissions were almost three times more likely than their male counterparts to report primary methamphetamine abuse (17.5 vs. 5.9 percent). Over half of young adult American Indian male and female admissions (54.7 percent each) had been in treatment at least once before. Among young adult American Indian admissions, only about one third (34.1 percent) of males and less than one fifth (19.3 percent) of females were employed.
