This presentation, led by Dr. Michelle P. Durham provides an in-depth analysis of the systemic inequities that Black individuals face in accessing and receiving substance use treatment. The discussion highlights historical and contemporary factors contributing to these disparities, including the impact of systemic racism, discrimination, and mass incarceration. It explores the role of U.S. drug policies and the ongoing consequences of the War on Drugs, which disproportionately affect Black communities. Dr. Durham emphasizes the need for culturally responsive treatment approaches and the importance of addressing social determinants of health to reduce these inequities. The presentation also discusses the psychological toll of these systemic challenges and offers actionable strategies for creating more equitable treatment environments. Through data and research, the presentation aims to educate healthcare providers on how to better support Black individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) and advocate for systemic changes in the healthcare and criminal justice systems. This presentation is designed to empower healthcare professionals to address these gaps and work towards a more just and equitable healthcare system for Black patients with substance use disorders.
