BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The gender gap in prevalence of substance-use disorders has narrowed. However, gender differences in stimulant misuse have not been well-characterized in recent years. The aim of this study was to quantify gender differences in past-year stimulant misuse and stimulant-use disorder, separated by stimulant type (cocaine/crack, prescription stimulants, and methamphetamine). In an exploratory aim, we investigated whether gender differences were moderated by age or sexual orientation.
METHODS: We combined data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health from 2015 to 2019 (unweighted N = 282,768) to test gender differences in the prevalence of past-year stimulant misuse.
RESULTS: Results indicated that stimulant misuse was significantly more prevalent in men than women for all stimulant types for both past-year use and past-year use disorder. The magnitude of this sex difference was smallest for prescription stimulants, where men had 1.37 times higher odds of past-year misuse and no gender difference was observed in the prevalence of prescription stimulant-use disorder. The magnitude of gender differences also varied based on both age and sexual orientation.
CONCLUSIONS AND SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: Illicit stimulant misuse continues to be more common in men than in women; however, gender differences are more modest for prescription stimulant misuse, suggesting a narrowing of this historical gender difference.
