Abstract
This presentation is intended to discuss social determinants of health and the importance of assessment when treating those with addiction. After reviewing the evidence and considering current events plaguing our nation, it is imperative that we discuss and examine the implications of social determinants of health and the influence on those living with addiction. Addiction follows cycles of relapse and recovery. How we adequately address addiction without consideration of where our clients live, work, attend school, church, and play? It is also important to consider the constructs of diversity and inclusion when addressing the determinants of health. Treating addiction requires inclusivity- seeing the client as an individual, without omitting a holistic care plan.

Well done Dr. Hicks. Very timely subject. I have always treated my patients as people even when they were hateful to me, I appreciate the history you shared. I had never heard of Posttraumatic Slave Syndrome before. Very appropriate to us as SUD providers.
Tracy Hicks
Thank you Dennis ! I am happy you enjoyed the presentation. I have found Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome to be very interesting and life changing.
Joycelyn Iheanacho
Thank you Dr. Hicks for your presentation! It is indeed the right time to educate ourselves regarding the social determinants of health and addiction and DEI to better serve our patients, most especially the marginalized and stigmatized due to SUD. Inspiring and educational!

BOOM! You definitely brought IntNSA very rich and disturbing data. I am so pleased that this presentation was included in the conference and hope that we can begin the discussion of how racism and health disparities are interwoven throughout the field of addiction treatment. No lives matter until Black Lives Matter. In awe of your work.
Your friend,

Dr. Hicks,
Thank you so much for tackling this topic and, by doing do, ensuring this material and education is part of this year’s virtual conference. Without this information, we (as professionals) are misinformed and continue to practice at subpar levels. I cannot thank you enough for this timely and well-presented information. Thank you for continuing to emphasize that Black Lives Matter and ensuring we continue to #SayTheirNames.

Yes Eileen this is true. I have found inclusive practice to be most rewarding. It is certainly a reciprocal feeling with the clients I serve.
Elisa Vidal
Thank you Dr. Hicks . Your presentation was very interesting and as others have stated very timely. I agree this is a topic that needs to be discussed continually and identified in practice more often. I am interested in your reference list which I have not been able to locate on the E-Learning web site. I’d appreciate this information. Your statistics themselves should be posted daily on all social media platforms to better educate the general public. Thank you again.
