  • Women with dual diagnosis face heightened stigma, social penalties, and treatment access barriers compared to men.
  • Dual diagnosis in women correlates with increased risks of abuse, violence, unemployment, social exclusion, and comorbidities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the need for a sex and gender-based perspective in understanding and treating dual diagnosis in women.
  • To advocate for the integration of sex and gender factors in scientific analyses and professional training.
  • To call for the development of specific treatment resources for women and broader social transformation to reduce gender-based violence.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a conceptual analysis and literature review.
  • It synthesizes existing knowledge on the unique challenges faced by women with dual diagnosis.
  • It proposes a framework for incorporating sex and gender considerations into research and clinical practice.

Main Results:

  • Women with dual diagnosis experience unique psychosocial stressors and health risks.
  • Current approaches to dual diagnosis often fail to adequately address sex and gender differences.
  • A gender-informed perspective is essential for improving outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • A transversal sex and gender-based perspective is imperative for the adequate study and treatment of dual diagnosis in women.
  • Professionals require specific training, and healthcare systems need tailored resources to support women with dual diagnosis.
  • Societal changes addressing gender norms and reducing violence are vital for prevention and effective care.
