title: Neuropsychological impairment in female alcoholics.
abstract: Cognitive performance of women alcoholics was assessed to determine whether level and pattern of impairment would be similar to that found in male alcoholics. Subjects were 25 female alcoholics enrolled in residential treatment and 25 female nonalcoholics equated on age, education and vocabulary. Both groups were screened for medical and drug problems before neuropsychological testing.
