Many states with higher burden of alcohol use disorder among women have fewer treatment facilities tailored to their needs
Boston University School of Public HealthPeer-Reviewed Publication
A new study published in Substance Use & Addiction Journal found that state-level AUD estimates among women ranged from approximately 6-13 percent, with all New England states and several in the West and Midwest exceeding the national average of 8 percent among women. More than 40 percent of addiction treatment facilities did not offer women-specific treatment, and services targeted toward women—especially childcare—were disproportionately unavailable in many states that had higher-than-average estimated AUD prevalence among women. The study was funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and is the first to explore state-level differences in AUD among women and the availability of women-specific services in treatment facilities.
