Trends in cannabis use disorder and treatment by race and ethnicity, 2002–2019

Although all racialized groups had increasing CUD and decreasing CUD treatment use during the study period, the observed racialized disparities also persisted. For example, despite a higher prevalence of CUD among Black people compared to white people, Black people with CUD were less likely than their white counterparts to receive treatment and more likely to report perceived need. These disparities in CUD, treatment use, and perceived need underscore the need for CUD-related services overall and tailored services for racialized minorities, and especially Black people.
