“…Lo et al have similarly reported that female arrestees were more likely than male arrestees to show cocaine dependence. (41) Our findings and those of others highlight the importance of providing drug treatment for inmates with histories of drug abuse. Risk for incarceration stems from many sources and reflects a complex process with overlapping and sometimes interacting layers.…”

Objectives To assess how different patterns of housing instability affect incarceration and whether correlates of incarceration are gender-specific. Methods Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess associations between patterns of housing instability and recent jail stays among a reproducible sample of 1175 marginally housed adults in San Francisco. Results 71% of men and 21% of women reported jail stays over the previous year. Among women, long-term single room occupancy (SRO) stays (>90 days) were protective for incarceration. Street stays were associated with incarceration for both sexes, but for men, short-term (<=90 days) street stays were associated with the highest odds of incarceration, and for women, long-term street stays were most correlated with incarceration. Sex trade increased the odds of incarceration among men only; recent drug use was associated with incarceration among both sexes. Conclusions Correlates of incarceration differ by sex, and patterns of housing instability differentially impact upon incarceration for men and women. Policies to improve housing options and drug treatment for the urban poor are critical to breaking the cycle of incarceration and homelessness and improving health outcomes.

“…Schulte et al (2005) examined data from the Drug Use Monitoring Program in Australia (DUMA) and found that dependence on illicit drugs was more prevalent among female arrestees than among males. With regard to specific drug types, Lo (2004) reported findings from the US-ADAM program that showed that dependence on cocaine was more common among female than male arrestees. However, dependence on cannabis was more prevalent 902 Holloway and Bennett among males.…”

Traditionally, the addiction literature has focused on male drug users and less attention has been given to female users. More recently, research investigating gender differences in drug use and associated problem behaviors has emerged. This article contributes to the growing research base by drawing on data collected from structured interviews with 2,682 male and 453 female arrestees conducted as part of the New English and Welsh Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (1999-2002) program. Clear gender differences in drug use and associated behaviors are identified. Women were found to be more serious drug users and to experience more associated problems than men. The research and policy implications of the research are discussed and the study's limitations are noted.
