Paper Title
Supportive Factors and Barriers to Addiction Treatment for Women in Delhi, India
Abstract
Substance use disorders are on the rise among reproductive-aged women in low- and middle-income countries, yet little is known regarding the supportive factors and challenges they face when seeking treatment. The current study presents qualitative interview data collected from a sample of n=20 women enrolled in a de-addiction program. Thematic analysis was used to determine prominent themes associated with seeking treatment. These themes are organized according to the social-ecological model and the implications of these findings are discussed.
