Racial and Ethnic Community Composition and Geographic Distance to Substance Use Disorder Treatment Across the Rural and Urban Divide
SUD treatment facilities, which have historically faced heavy stigmatization, are more likely to be placed in communities with a high concentration of Black and Hispanic residents. Consequently, White ZCTAs were less likely to have a SUD treatment facility nearby than other communities. This is important evidence to explore in determining whether stigmatization may play a role in treatment availability.
