从历史上看，数据显示，与男子相比，妇女使用酒精和非法药物的比例较小，妇女使用的频率也低于男子。虽然这些使用数据可能是真实的，但研究人员也承认，妇女使用药物一直是一个隐藏的问题，社会没有真正承认这一点，特别是在20世纪60年代中期之前。沿着，最近的数据表明，妇女使用药物的比例正在增加。导致药物滥用增加的因素已开始受到相当大的关注，最近的研究表明，存在许多妇女使用药物所特有的问题。本文的目的是讨论在妇女的物质滥用的性别特定的考虑因素，通过检查妇女的物质使用的历史;分析性别特定的因素，包括生理因素，创伤相关的因素，心理健康问题，和文化因素，影响妇女的物质使用;阐明治疗方法与滥用药物的妇女和女孩;并对该领域的进一步研究提出了建议。
Historically, data has shown that a smaller percentage of women use alcohol and illicit substances compared to men, and that frequency of use has been lower among women compared to use among men. Although this data on usage may be true, researchers also acknowledge that substance use among women has been a hidden issue, one not realistically acknowledged by society, especially prior to the mid-1960s. Along with this, more recent data indicates that rates of substance use among women are increasing. Factors contributing to this increase in substance abuse have begun to receive considerable attention, and recent research suggests that many issues exist that are unique to substance use among women. The purpose of this article is to discuss gender specific considerations in women's substance abuse by examining the history of substance use among women; analyzing gender-specific factors, including physiological factors, trauma-related factors, mental health issues, and cultural considerations that impact on women's substance use; articulating treatment approaches for working with substance abusing women and girls; and providing recommendations for further research in this area.
