“…Morgan, Williams, and Gott () developed a feminist quality appraisal tool to assess gender biases and inequities in research, particularly useful for systematic reviews or to be used alongside other quality appraisal tools. The tool is framed around four categories within which to consider gender and power (with associated items to guide questioning): conceptualisation, study design and analysis, contextualisation of findings, and practical prescriptions for change.…”

“…Extending Lyons's (2009) contribution, I will apply a gender-sensitive tool to the study of gender differences in tobacco use/cessation to demonstrate some of the problems with psychological studies of gender. Morgan, Williams, and Gott (2016) developed a feminist quality appraisal tool to assess gender biases and inequities in research, particularly useful for systematic reviews or to be used alongside other quality appraisal tools.…”

In this article, I argue that gender is a complex sociocultural construct, yet how gender is accounted for in psychological research is limited. Specifically, psychologists conflate sex with gender, rely on quantifying gender differences and, by implication, conceptualise gender as merely a participant characteristic. To illustrate, I apply this viewpoint to the topic of gender differences in tobacco use/cessation using on a feminist quality appraisal tool. I show how these three issues promote the narrow study of sex/gender differences, despite problems surrounding this inquiry, and reduce insights into the intersection of gender and behaviour. To offer a way forward for psychology, I describe how a critical psychology perspective attends to the complexities of gender and its influence on behaviour. I showcase diverse ways of attending to gender as a sociocultural construct, inviting psychologists to engage with, and reflect on, their gender analyses.

“…Integrating sex and gender analyses into research design not only improves science [31], and increases reproducibility, efficiency and accuracy [32], but also advances social justice and gender equity [26,33]. There are numerous issues of design and measurement that are yet to be resolved [34] and there are considerable challenges in designing methods and measures to address sex and gender and interactions with health determinants [35,36].…”

“…For example, in preparing for the systematic review described in detail in Hemsing and Greaves [18] in this issue, aimed at identifying relevant evidence on four drugs (alcohol, cannabis, nicotine and opioids) that reflected on sex and/or gender, a team of researchers at the Centre of Excellence for Women's Health encountered several issues. We had intended to do a quality appraisal of each selected study and to use Morgan et al Feminist Appraisal Tool to assist with the appraising of gender, as an additional filter prior to drawing conclusions [26]. However, as described, the response to our search was over 20,000 articles.…”

Missing in Action: Sex and Gender in Substance Use Research

Substance use and misuse is a significant global health issue that requires a sex- and gender-based analysis. Substance use patterns and trends are gendered: that is, women and men, girls and boys, and gender-diverse people often exhibit different rates of use of substances, reasons for use, modes of administration, and effects of use. Sex-specific effects and responses to substances are also important, with various substances affecting females and males differentially. Nevertheless, much research and practice in responding to substance use and misuse remains gender blind, ignoring the impacts of sex and gender on this important health issue. This special issue identifies how various aspects of sex and gender matter in substance use, illustrates the application of sex- and gender-based analyses to a range of substances, populations and settings, and assists in progressing sex and gender science in relation to substance use.
