Abstract：
The majority of rural Appalachian women in jail meet criteria for a drug use disorder and need treatment. Using a latent profile analysis of a random sample of rural women in Appalachian jails (N=400), the current study established groups of women based on criminal history, drug use in the commission of crimes, and role of the partner\'s drug use in the commission of crimes. Analysis found five distinct profiles of rural women based on involvement of criminal activities as a function of drug use severity. Results suggest that among criminally involved rural women, severity of drug use is a critical factor in the criminal career. Findings can be used to better inform treatment approaches and tailor treatment to meet the needs of this vulnerable population.
摘要：
大多数在监狱中的农村阿巴拉契亚妇女符合吸毒障碍的标准，需要治疗。使用对阿巴拉契亚监狱中随机抽取的农村妇女的潜在概况分析（N=400），当前的研究根据犯罪史建立了妇女群体，在犯罪中使用毒品，以及伴侣吸毒在犯罪中的作用。分析发现，根据犯罪活动的参与程度与吸毒严重程度有关，农村妇女有五个不同的特征。结果表明，在涉嫌犯罪的农村妇女中，吸毒的严重程度是犯罪生涯中的一个关键因素。调查结果可用于更好地告知治疗方法并调整治疗方法，以满足这一弱势群体的需求。
