However, dual diagnosis in women presents increased stigma, social penalties, and barriers to access to treatment than it does for men. Indeed, it increases the probability of suffering physical or sexual abuse, violent victimization, gender-based violence, unemployment, social exclusion, social-role problems, and physical and psychiatric comorbidities. Thus, a transversal sex and gender-based perspective is required to adequately study and treat dual diagnosis. For this, sex and gender factors should be included in every scientific analysis; professionals should review their own prejudices and stereotypes and train themselves specifically from a gender perspective; administrations should design and provide specific treatment resources for women; and we could all contribute to a structural social transformation that goes beyond gender mandates and norms and reduces the risk of abuse and violence inflicted on women.application/pdfenopen accessAdicción en las mujeres.Nervous System - Diseases in women.Sistema nervioso - Enfermedades en las mujeres.Psicopatología.Psychology, Pathological.Women - Drug use.Artículohttps://doi.org/10.3390/brainsci11081101https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es
