Women-specific alcohol use(r) intervention programs: a preliminary dimension analysis based on specialized services in Western New York State.
Women-specific models have been proposed as a means for achieving the best service user-treatment match for women who experience alcohol use related problems. To better understand how theoretical and empirical knowledge are being applied in real world programs, interviews were conducted at seven programs in Western New York State where specialized women's alcohol use(r) services have been developed. A preliminary analytical model of women's services is proposed, consisting of the following three dimensions: 1) level of orthodoxy, 2) population specificity, and 3) change target.
