Cannabis dependence: Is gender bias affecting the treatment of women?

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Cannabis dependence is frequently considered a 鈥渕ale-only problem鈥, leading to significant gender bias in the way that it is assessed and treated, according to Ian Hamilton, lecturer in addiction and mental health. This means that the number of dependent women is vastly underestimated, and that even once diagnosed, women are not getting the treatment they need. He discusses with 麻豆社 Radio 4 Woman鈥檚 Hour presenter Jenni Murray.
