Stress and cues reminiscent of cocaine use promote craving and relapse in cocaine dependent
individuals. In addition, there appears to be gender differences in determinants of relapse
to drug use following abstinence in cocaine-dependent individuals. Therefore the purpose of
the present study is to study the role of hormonal status on the response to cocaine-related
cues with or without stress in cocaine-dependent women and men.
