1. Substance Abuse Screening
The goal of substance abuse screening is to identify individuals who have or are developing alcohol- or
drug-related problems. Routinely, women are less likely than men to be identified as having substance
abuse problems (Buchsbaum et al. 1993); yet, they are more likely to exhibit significant health problems
after consuming fewer substances in a shorter period of time.
