Harmful alcohol use among females and the availability of addiction treatment services in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Alcohol is a significant negative factor that affects public health in the Czech Republic (CR). Nearly one in five Czech adults consumealcohol in a hazardous way. Data indicate a gradual reduction of gender differences in alcohol consumption, emphasising the need forgender-sensitive alcohol treatment services. The objective of the study is to analyse the current state of alcohol treatment services in theCzech Republic and to identify the deficiencies of the system with respect to the growing incidence of alcohol use disorder (AUD) amongwomen. The study combines the analysis of relevant documents and available statistical data with explorative experts&apos; interviews. Thedata were analysed using a thematic analysis. Five key topics were identified related to female AUD treatment: low accessibility of AUDservices; missing gender sensitive services; poorly functioning AUD prevention; fragmentation and lack of coordination between services;and dual social stigmatization of women with AUD. The analysis shows that the AUD treatment system in the CR is designed as a unifiedsystem for men and women. Gender aspects are not considered.
