Abstract:
Several health inequities exist among racial/ethnic minoritized populations (REMPs) who use substances including disparities in use patterns, inequities in health and legal consequences of use, as well as in treatment access and effectiveness. To address these inequities, more research is needed to examine the associated factors and identify areas for improving treatment. Divided into three categories, this special issue includes papers that examine the social and contextual factors that are associated with substance use among REMPs, papers that consider the role of racism and discrimination on substance use, and papers that explore racial/ethnic differences in treatment access and outcomes. Recommendations for advancing health equity in substance use research are also included.
