Sex- and Gender-based Analysis +

Content

Sex, gender and other identity factors intersect to affect substance use prevalence and the experiences and outcomes of people with substance use concerns and disorders. While sex and gender are more common perspectives when analyzing research and developing programs and policies, they need to be connected with other key identity factors, such as race, ability, citizenship and income.
