TAILIEUCHUNG - Women and Alcohol: A WOMEN’S HEALTH RESOURCE

Sub-Saharan Africa has the worst indicators of women’s health—particularly of reproductive health—of any world region. These indicators include the highest number of HIV-positive women and the highest infant, maternal, and HIV-related death rates worldwide. The ability of a woman to make her own decisions regarding her body and her reproductive life are key to improving these indicators. The protocol can help advocates pressure governments to address the underlying social, political, and health-care issues that contribute to the dismal state of women’s health throughout the continent. This briefing paper offers concrete suggestions for women’s health and rights advocates within. | Women and Alcohol A WOMEN S HEALTH RESOURCE This resource was written by women for women to provide useful information about the effects of alcohol and the risks associated with drinking. We hope that this booklet will empower women by assisting them to make healthy and well-informed choices about their alcohol use. Drinking alcohol is a common social activity for many women. In fact 76 percent of the women surveyed in the Canadian Addiction Survey reported drinking in the past year 1 . However we don t always think about the possible risks that may be associated with drinking nor understand that those risks are different for men and for women. There are a number of factors that can contribute to women s vulnerability to the effects of alcohol. These factors include body size and composition age genetics and both previous and current life circumstances and stressors. They influence the ways in which women respond to alcohol and can act in combination to increase risk. There are also some very specific health risks associated with heavy drinking by women. Low risk drinking guidelines have been established to support women in making decisions about their alcohol use. KEY POINTS Alcohol is commonly used by women Alcohol affects women differently from men Low risk drinking guidelines are available for women Heavy drinking can lead to serious health concerns There are a number of factors that can lead to increased vulnerability to the effects of alcohol Support is available to help women make changes in their drinking This resource will present low risk drinking guidelines as they apply to women describe factors influencing girls and women s drinking highlight gender-specific health considerations with regard to drinking and discuss where to find support and more information for those who wish to learn more about drinking and women.
