Abstract

Aims: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a common mental disorder characterized by sex-gender differences (SGDs). The present study was aimed at evaluating attitudes displayed by Italian AUD treatment services towards investigating the presence of SGDs in their patients and implementing gender-specific treatments for female AUD patients.

Methods: Potential SGDs were initially investigated in a sample of AUD outpatients, subsequently followed by a national survey on the adoption of specific interventions for female AUD outpatients.

Results: The presence of SGDs was confirmed in a sample of 525 (332 men; 193 women) AUD outpatients, including a higher prevalence of anxiety and mood disorders, and episodes of violence and trauma among female AUD outpatients compared to males. Despite the presence of these SGDs, only <20% of a total of 217 Italian AUD treatment services reported the implementation of specific strategies for female AUD outpatients. The majority of services (94%) reported investigating episodes of violence and/or trauma, largely resorting to specific procedures only when these issues were detected.

Conclusions: Our findings confirm the presence of SGDs among AUD outpatients, including a higher prevalence of anxiety and mood disorders and episodes of violence and trauma among females compared with males. However, only a small number of services have adopted a gender medicine approach in AUD treatment. These results underline the urgency of investigating the specific needs of female, male, and non-binary AUD patients in order to personalize and enhance the effectiveness and appeal of AUD treatment.

酒精使用障碍女性门诊患者的需求:一项意大利研究的数据。
目的:酒精使用障碍(AUD)是一种常见的精神障碍,其特点是性别差异(SGD)。本研究旨在评估意大利 AUD 治疗服务机构对调查患者是否存在 SGDs 以及对女性 AUD 患者实施性别差异治疗的态度:方法:首先在AUD门诊患者样本中调查潜在的SGDs,随后就针对女性AUD门诊患者采取特定干预措施的情况进行全国性调查:在525名(男性332人;女性193人)AUD门诊患者样本中证实了SGD的存在,其中女性AUD门诊患者的焦虑症和情绪障碍以及暴力和创伤事件的发生率高于男性。尽管存在这些SGD,但只有结论:我们的研究结果证实,在 AUD 门诊病人中存在 SGDs,其中女性焦虑症和情绪障碍以及暴力和创伤发作的发病率高于男性。然而,只有少数服务机构在 AUD 治疗中采用了性别医学方法。这些结果凸显了调查女性、男性和非二元性 AUD 患者特殊需求的紧迫性,以便个性化并提高 AUD 治疗的有效性和吸引力。

期刊介绍: About the Journal Alcohol and Alcoholism publishes papers on the biomedical, psychological, and sociological aspects of alcoholism and alcohol research, provided that they make a new and significant contribution to knowledge in the field. Papers include new results obtained experimentally, descriptions of new experimental (including clinical) methods of importance to the field of alcohol research and treatment, or new interpretations of existing results. Theoretical contributions are considered equally with papers dealing with experimental work provided that such theoretical contributions are not of a largely speculative or philosophical nature.
