Substance Use Disorders in African American Communities
Author: Mark SandersPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134915837
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
This book is dedicated to the prevention, treatment, and recovery of African Americans with substance use disorders. African Americans are disproportionately represented in the addictions, criminal justice, and child welfare systems. It is clear that, when their culturally specific needs are not met, they are vulnerable to continuous relapse and the revolving door syndrome. There has been little written that focuses exclusively on prevention, treatment, and recovery among African Americans. This book was written to fill this gap. It is an important contribution to the field of behavioral health, providing a much-needed treasure trove of important knowledge from specialists, including physicians, psychologists, educators, social workers, addictions counselors, public health specialists, researchers, the clergy, as well as individuals in recovery. This volume adds significantly to the knowledge base of practitioners and researchers whose work focuses on prevention, treatment, and recovery in African American communities. This book was originally published as a special issue of Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly.

Pages : 104
Book Description
According to the United States Census Bureau, African Americans account for 14% of the United States population and have a rate of growth that has outpaced the overall US population (US Census Bureau, 2010). African Americans have an increasing unmet need for the treatment of alcohol use disorders (Mulia, Schmidt, & Ye et al., 2011; Wells, Klap, Koike, & Sherbourne, 2001). National level data, such as the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC), show that African Americans have lower rates of daily and heavy alcohol consumption, however, (Hasin, Stinson, Ogburn & Grant, 2007) African Americans experience severe consequences on health, social, and legal consequences. (Jones-Webb, 1997; Taylor, 2003; Wallace, 1999). The purpose of this research study was to investigate factors that influence treatment utilization among African American adult who have a reported diagnosis of an alcohol use disorder within the past twelve months. This study addresses the research question of "what factors influence treatment utilization for among African Americans with a past year diagnosis of an alcohol use disorder? The Andersen Model for Behavioral Health Services Utilization was used to test the hypothesis that predisposing, enabling, and need factors would influence treatment for an alcohol use disorder among African Americans. The 2008-2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) was used in this study to investigate factors that influence treatment utilization for alcohol use disorders among African Americans. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the likelihood of predisposing, enabling and need variables influencing treatment utilization for an alcohol use disorder. The results of this study showed that older African Americans, those with lower levels of education, and having experienced a major depressive episode influenced the likelihood of treatment utilization for an alcohol use disorder.
