Abstract
WOMEN HAVE lower rates of alcohol abuse or dependence than men, but they are at increased risk for alcohol-related health problems at any level of alcohol consumption.1-5 Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the benefits of brief primary care interventions with women who drink more than the recommended levels (hazardous drinking) or who have experienced adverse consequences due to drinking (problem drinking).6-8 However, health care providers are less likely to identify and counsel women than men with hazardous or problem drinking.9-11 Women are also underrepresented in alcohol treatment.12Keywords
