Examining possible gender differences among cocaine-dependent outpatients . Potential differences in sociodemographics , drug use , and measures of treatment outcome were examined among 137 male and 51 female cocaine-dependent outpatients . More women than men were unemployed , received public assistance , and were living with their children . Women reported fewer years of regular cocaine use , spending less money per week on cocaine , less prior treatment for cocaine abuse , and were more likely than men to test positive for cocaine at intake . With respect to other drug use , fewer women than men reported using sedatives and tested positive for sedatives at intake . Women reported a lower frequency of alcohol use before intake , and fewer women than men met criteria for cannabis dependence . Men and women experienced comparable improvement during the course of treatment and follow-up .
