Using Data to Inform and Improve Recovery Equity
Recorded: Thursday, April 24, 2025 to Sunday, April 27, 2025
On-Demand Session
Overview
This 60-minute on-demand session from the ASAM 56th Annual Conference addresses how to identify and address recovery inequities in substance use disorder treatment by examining key metrics, staff perceptions, and actionable tools to promote equitable care.
Due to marked racial and ethnic disparities in the physical and psychosocial consequences of substance use disorder (SUD), SUD treatment programs must ensure that the services they provide are effective for patients from diverse communities. The goals of this session are to help providers recognize the critical role of data in ensuring recovery equity in SUD healthcare and to incorporate culturally-responsive strategies so that every individual has an equal chance to recover from SUDs and related health issues.
The target audience for this Introductory level session includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, other clinicians, researchers, residents, fellows, students, and counselors.
This session addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Patient Care and Procedural Skills.
This session addresses the following IPEC Competencies: Values and Ethics.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, learners will be able to:
- Identify key metrics that can reveal recovery inequities in the treatment of people with SUDs;
- Discuss how staff perceptions, as well as treatment outcomes, can reveal areas for growth in recovery equity;
- Describe specific tools and practices that providers can implement to improve recovery equity in the care environment.
