Introduction: It has been observed that women are less represented in research on addictions, which may diminish
their contribution to the area.
Purpose: To analyze the existence of gender inequality in different activities related to research on addictions.
Methods: The representation of Spanish women was calculated from three perspectives: in the grants to research
projects funded by the Spanish Plan Nacional Sobre Drogas (PNSD), in the publications derived from these projects,
and in the editorial committees (EC) of a selection of journals on addictions.
Results: Only 26.9% of the main researchers in the PNSD grants were women. No statistically significant differences
were observed between the sex of the principal investigator, the number of researchers, their sex and the collaboration
with researchers of another sex in the publications. In three foreign journals only one Spanish woman participates
as the only member of the EC (Alcohol and Alcoholism, Alcohol and Addictive Behaviors).
Conclusions: Only a third of the main researchers of the PNSD grants are women and their representation has not
increased in recent years. The presence of women in the EC of the Spanish journals of addictions is the fifth part that
the one of the men and in the foreign journals their representation is smaller.
