Aims: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a common mental disorder characterized by sex-gender differences (SGDs). The present study was aimed at evaluating attitudes displayed by Italian AUD treatment services towards investigating the presence of SGDs in their patients and implementing gender-specific treatments for female AUD patients.
Methods: Potential SGDs were initially investigated in a sample of AUD outpatients, subsequently followed by a national survey on the adoption of specific interventions for female AUD outpatients.
Introduction: Worldwide, almost 1.2 million people drive under the influence of alcohol. However, early identification of alcohol use disorder (AUD) in subjects driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol is seldom achieved.

- In Italy, there is a lack of data on the mortality risk of foreign-born residents with alcohol use disorders (AUDs), despite an increasing migrant population.
- A study from 1975 to 2016 examined the mortality risk and causes of death for both natives and non-natives with AUDs in Northern Italy, revealing that non-natives tend to be younger, have better health and social capital, and a lower risk of death compared to Italians.
- However, the study also found disparities in mortality rates based on geographic origin, lower treatment retention among non-natives, and significant barriers to accessing mental health services, indicating that despite better overall health, migrants still face challenges in their recovery journey.
