Webinar replay: Equity considerations for addressing opioid use disorder
This webinar was held on April 23, 2024.
This webinar examined three projects that demonstrate how HMA partnered with states and counties to address opioid use disorder with an equity focus. HMA experts were joined by representatives from partner organizations to discuss their efforts to reduce disparities, which have been trending upward nationally, in opioid use disorder prevalence and overdose deaths—whether it be in brown and black communities or with pregnant and parenting people.
The learning objectives covered in this webinar included sharing how states could implement strategies to engage non-traditional partners to address equity; highlighting the critical role of partnering with community organizations and community leaders in addressing inequities in substance use disorder (SUD); and discussing how HMA could support states, counties, and municipalities in these efforts.
