Woman, Alcoholism, Self-stigma, Seeking treatmentAbstract
In recent years, there has been an increase in women’s alcohol consumption, which has a negative impact, among others, on their levels of anxiety and depression, self-concept and the treatment seeking. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to carry out an updated systematic review of the impact of stigma on women with alcohol problems in their mental health and treatment research (using the PRISMA method). According to the results, between the barriers to seek treatment, the women had the highest levels of stigma and it was found that self-stigma is associated with depression and poor health. Therefore, knowing the impact of stigma on women’s well-being can be very useful for developing, implementing and evaluating prevention individualized or group programs for women.
