Abstract

Women's addiction remains a significant public health concern, yet it often goes unnoticed due to societal stereotypes and gender biases in addiction surveillance. This abstract explores the unseen portion of the addiction wave among women, shedding light on the unique challenges they face and the disparities in access to treatment and support services. By recognizing the hidden prevalence of addiction among women and addressing the underlying factors contributing to their substance use, policymakers and healthcare providers can develop targeted interventions to improve outcomes and reduce the burden of addiction on women's health and well-being.
