The impact of substance and alcohol use disorders on Black Americans is a complex issue. Understanding it requires an examination of racial inequity, inequality, and racism. Research shows long-held stereotypes about race and addiction are impacting access to treatment and patient outcomes. It is critical for the behavioral health community to discuss these differences.
Topics covered will include:
o Black American drug and alcohol usage trends vary across age and sex;o Bias and stigma affect treatment access and patient outcomes;o Systemic racism and trauma contribute to treatment disparities between races;o Understanding this complex issue can impact recovery outcomeso Open forum for participants to ask questions
