Résumé :
The purpose of this study was to compare two clinical samples of women substance abusers, one from Iowa and one from Norway, along several dimensions: "substance abuse" history, current "abuse" pattern, parental and spouse drinking history, symptoms of psychological distress, and "vulnerability" to relapse. A higher percentage of women substance abusers from Iowa were divorced and lived alone, were "vulnerable" to relapse, and reported more life problems secondary to their substance use than women from Norway. The Iowa women had used more substances in addition to alcohol than had the Norwegian women. The Norwegian women reported greater intensity of emotional distress than the women from Iowa.
