This report compares the findings for four racial/ethnic and gender groups of methadone maintenance (MM) patients--African-American men (n = 153), African-American women (n = 107), Hispanic men (n = 138), and Hispanic women (n = 70)--administered the Addiction Severity Index (ASI). African-American men had a history of more arrests and incarcerations than Hispanic men. African-Americans had a longer history of drug and alcohol abuse problems than Hispanics and more current alcohol problems. Women reported more medical, psychiatric, family-social, and employment problems than men. Men reported more legal and alcohol-related problems than women. With several exceptions, the study findings were consistent with those based on other instruments. Given the relatively large sample sizes, the data may provide a characteristic ASI profile of the racial/ethnic and gender groups studied. The implications of differential group problem levels for substance abuse treatment efforts are discussed.
