“…In the field of research around drug use and policy particular barriers have been identified for women regarding entering treatment including, childcare responsibilities, gendered stigmatization and, treatment models that are inappropriate for women's needs (Thomas & Bull, 2018). There is evidence to suggest that women are more likely to drink heavily when they are also experiencing psychological and/or emotional distress when compared to men (Erol & Karpyak, 2015), suggesting a need for a more psychologically focused approaches to treatment for women.…”

Few studies have focused on the gendered differences amongst Polish migrants in their use of alcohol or access to treatment services. This study explored the divergent pathways through alcohol use, misuse and treatment access in a group of Polish migrants in London. Using an intersectionality framework we examine the ways that social attitudes toward gender in both communities and access to services related to migrant status and class are experienced. With a view to informing treatment services we discuss how a better understanding of these pathways, and the factors likely to influence them, can be used to address challenges experienced by Polish migrant women with problematic alcohol use.

“…Likewise, the definition of strategies to prevent the use of drugs should be considered from a gender perspective, as well as the definition of protocols and public policies addressed, with a twopronged approach: The impact of drug use on women of childbearing age, due to the effects on the child; and the relationship that could exist in the vulnerability of women to gender-related harm (sexual victimization, gender violence). 21,25 One of the risk factors that are associated with consumption is the influence of friends. The study showed that those who have never used marijuana have less contact with consumer peers, while consumers recognize that most of their friends consume marijuana.…”

“…In addition, students mostly do not feel scared by the risks of consumption. These factors have been described in models that try to explain marijuana use in adolescents, [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] representing challenges to the prevention. The programs that are implemented must consider the effect of the peers and the lack of risks' perception for the achievement of the objectives.…”

“…The role of the media and the dissemination that has been done through mass campaigns to support the decriminalization of cultivation and use for medical purposes could have an impact and should be analyzed in detail. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] The findings of the study at the local level pose diverse challenges. First, it must be determined if the magnitude of the consumption found is over estimated and look for the factors that influence the difference observed between men and women, such as, for example, self-esteem.…”

Objective: analyze the perception of harm and benefits, and its association with the use of marijuana in high school students, as well as the intention to use it in a context of regulatory changes. Method: a quantitative, exploratory, cross-sectional study was designed, applying a self-administered questionnaire to 268 high school students. Results: The results showed that the declared consumption in the sample is higher than that obtained in previous studies in Chile, which had already warned of the increase in prevalence, compared to previous measurements. There is a low perception of risk associated with consumption and insecurity regarding benefits. In the framework of regulatory changes, no change was observed in the intention of use. Adolescent consumers would continue to do so as before, while those who have not consumed it, 25% would try it, and 60% would still not use it. Conclusions: The current discussion in the country has focused on the effect that the change in the law would have, by itself, on adolescent consumption, however, it is relevant to direct efforts towards the perceptions of risk and benefits that they have, in order to stop the observed increasing in consumption in the country, in the latest studies.

“…It has been defined as the process of "determining the various policy achieving a goal. According Thomas and the Bull that the policy analysis is a diverse field, and the researchers used this framework in a variety of theoretical perspectives to policy-making criticism of contemporary issues, processes and policies [4]. Likewise, according to Vining and Weimer that the policy research and policy analysis differ in important ways, a policy research is a very valuable resource for policy analysis.…”
