Objective: The aim of this research is to determine the attitudes and behaviors of the society towards women illicit substance use and to examine the relationship between these attitudes and sociodemographic variables.
Method: The population aged 18 and over was included in the study, which was carried out in a cross-sectional type with a quantitative method. In addition to sociodemographic questions, a questionnaire about attitudes towards women using addictive substances and the Attitudes and Behaviors Scale for Individuals Using Addictive Substances (BYMT) were used. The study was conducted online with 410 people reached through Google Forms and of the participants were 50% female and 50% male.
Results: Men have more negative attitudes and thoughts towards women who use illegal substances, negative attitudes decrease as the level of education increases, and people living in villages or towns until they reach the age of 18 have higher negative attitudes than people living in the province. In addition, participants who have negative attitudes towards individuals who use illegal substances are more likely to agree that women using illegal substances deserve violence, they are difficult to be treated, and men's use of illegal substances is more acceptable.
Conclusion: Stigmatizing attitudes and behaviors towards female addicts may reduce the visibility of women in the field of substance use and adversely affect the process of applying for treatment. The implementation of community-based studies and psychosocial treatment processes that consider gender differences will support the struggle against substance addiction.

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, toplumun yasa dışı bağımlılık yapıcı madde kullanan kadınlara yönelik tutum ve davranışlarını tespit etmek ve bu tutumların sosyodemografik değişkenlerle ilişkisini incelemektir.
Yöntem: Nicel yöntemle kesitsel türde gerçekleştirilmiş olan çalışmaya 18 yaş ve üzeri nüfus dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmada, sosyodemografik soruların yanı sıra literatür desteğiyle oluşturulmuş bağımlılık yapıcı madde kullanan kadınlara yönelik tutumları ele alan soru formu ve Bağımlılık Yapıcı Madde Kullanan Bireylere Yönelik Tutum ve Davranışlar Ölçeği (BYMT) kullanılmıştır. Çalışma Google Forms aracılığıyla ulaşılan 410 kişiyle online olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir ve katılımcıların %50’si kadın %50’si erkektir.
Bulgular: Yasa dışı madde kullanan kadınlara yönelik erkeklerin daha fazla olumsuz tutum ve düşünceye sahip olduğu, eğitim düzeyi yükseldikçe olumsuz tutumların azaldığı ve 18 yaşına gelene kadar köyde veya ilçede yaşayan kişilerin ilde yaşayan kişilere kıyasla olumsuz tutumlarının daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yasa dışı madde kullanan bireylere yönelik olumsuz tutumlar arttıkça katılımcıların, yasa dışı madde kullanan kadınlar şiddeti hak eder, tedavi olmaları zordur, erkeklerin yasa dışı madde kullanımı daha kabul edilebilirdir düşüncelerine katılma düzeyleri de artmaktadır.
Sonuç: Kadın bağımlılara yönelik damgalayıcı tutum ve davranışların, madde kullanım alanında kadınların görünürlüğünü azaltıp kadınların tedaviye başvurma süreçlerini olumsuz etkileyebilmektedir. Toplum temelli çalışmaların ve cinsiyet farklılıklarını göz önünde bulunduran psikososyal tedavi süreçlerin uygulanmasının madde bağımlılığı ile mücadeleye destek sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
