It is well known that the opioid crisis affects all parts of society. However, certain communities experience notable disparities in morbidity and mortality from Opioid Use Disorder (OUD).

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the disproportionately high rates of adverse effects of OUD among disadvantaged populations and several reasons for these disparities.
• Explain strategies that we can employ in our care delivery system to better engage disadvantaged populations in care.
• Identify one actionable step that you can take in your care setting to address inequities in OUD outcomes.
