People who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), sexual and gender minorities, and people with disabilities experience disproportionately high rates of physical and psychosocial consequences of substance use and addiction and lower access to evidence-based treatments. This presentation will give learners an overview of the relationship between racism, discrimination and inequities in substance use-related consequences and treatment access; organizational assessment of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) climates; and best practices for implementing policies and practices that integrate cultural humility and an equity-focused lens into addiction treatment and recovery services.
Speaker: Anika Alvanzo, MD, MS, FACP, DFASAM
