The HHS Office of Minority Health (OMH) and the Office of Behavioral Health, Disability, and Aging Policy (BHDAP) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) have partnered on briefs focused on substance use treatment disparities among people of color and substance use treatment approaches.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Minority Health provided a brief in November 2023 assessing whether and how rates of substance use and substance use disorder (SUD) among adults (ages 18 and older) differ by race and ethnicity.
