Description
There has been significant focus on diversity and inclusion in the field of addiction and recovery, yet one term that often gets overshadowed is the concept of equity. Equity refers to a state where everyone has an equal opportunity, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, physical ability, gender, etc. Often confused with equality, equity and equality both emphasize fairness. The subtle difference is that equality does this by treating everyone the same regardless of need, and equity does this by treating people differently dependent on need. How can treatment providers remove barriers and meet the unique needs of African Americans to provide equitable care? This presentation will focus on solutions to bring about systemic change in the form of equity.
