Opioid Literacy Among Individuals Living in Rural Alabama: The Role of Social Determinants of Health
Abstract:
Using the social determinants of health (SDOH) framework, the current study aimed to examine opioid literacy and the role of SDOH on opioid literacy. This study used a cross-sectional survey design to collect self-reported data from people living in four rural Alabama counties affected by the opioid crisis. Participants reported moderate levels of opioid knowledge. There were no significant predictors of general knowledge. For opioid overdose knowledge, the strongest individual predictors were educational level (Bachelor's degree) and self-rated financial strain, which contributed to higher scale scores. For the models evaluating opioid overdose response knowledge, the strongest individual predictors were minority status (inverse), self-rated mental health, and interpersonal safety. Our findings indicate that SDOH, such as financial strain and interpersonal safety, are significantly linked to opioid literacy. Educational efforts to enhance opioid literacy, proper usage, and management in rural counties should consider SDOH factors. Findings further outline the team's integrative approach to developing intervention strategies for opioid treatment and recovery that can benefit the northwest Alabama community and beyond.
