AB  - PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to examine recent literature 
      (2012-2022) on alcohol treatment access and engagement in women in the U.S. and 
      propose future directions for research and clinical practice. RECENT FINDINGS: A 
      targeted literature review resulted in 27 studies encompassing screening and 
      brief intervention (SBIRT), treatment utilization, treatment engagement, and 
      barriers to treatment. Recent literature demonstrates overall low rates of 
      screening and brief interventions and treatment utilization in the population 
      with women less likely to be screened and utilize alcohol treatment. The 
      magnitude of these gender differences varies with race/ethnicity. Extensive 
      barriers to care include provider knowledge, structural barriers, and attitudinal 
      barriers and these vary with service setting, gender, and race/ethnicity. 
      SUMMARY: There is an increasing prevalence of alcohol use and Alcohol Use 
      Disorder (AUD) in women with low rates of screening, brief treatment, treatment, 
      and engagement which have resulted from extensive barriers to care. Possible 
      areas of further inquiry include the impact of race/ethnicity on gender 
      differences, improving provider and system level policies to promote SBIRT and 
      treatment engagement and utilization, further developing digital interventions, 
      and implementation research to investigate factors associated with optimizing 
      effectiveness of gender-responsive and culturally tailored interventions that 
      address the unique needs of women.
