Study of alcohol treatment completion reveals greater disparities for women of color

An intersectional study of alcohol treatment completion rates reveals striking disparities for racial and ethnic minoritized women when compared to white men. Overall, women complete treatment at slightly lower rates than men, but the completion rates for Black, Latina, American Indian, and Native Alaskan women compared to white men are significantly lower. In some cases, these intersectional disparities are more than double those found by assessing only gender or race and ethnicity alone.
