The objective of this study was to explore, in-depth, differences in barriers to specialty alcohol and drug treatment services between Black and White participants with recent substance use disorders (SUD). We recruited 34 participants with a recent SUD of White and Black racial/ethnic descent for qualitative interviews. Interviews were coded to identify barriers to specialty treatment. We found that barriers related to stigma and lack of social support were more pervasive in the narratives of Blacks as compared to Whites. Results suggest that stigma and lack of perceived social support may impact Blacks more than Whites in seeking SUD treatment.
本研究旨在深入探讨近期有物质使用障碍(SUD)的黑人和白人参与者在接受专业酒精和药物治疗服务方面的障碍有何不同。我们招募了 34 名近期有 SUD 的白人和黑人员工进行定性访谈。对访谈进行编码以确定治疗障碍。我们发现,与黑人员工相比,与耻辱感和缺乏社会支持相关的障碍在白人员工的叙述中更为普遍。结果表明,耻辱感和缺乏感知到的社会支持可能会对寻求 SUD 治疗的黑人员工比对白人影响更大。
