Training Public Health Students in Racial Justice and Health Equity A Systematic Review

Caroline E. Chandler et al.

Summary: A systematic review has identified 11 examples from peer-reviewed literature of curricula, lessons, and competencies developed by public health faculty and departments regarding teaching structural racism in public health since 2006. The review found a range of approaches to teaching about structural racism in public health, suggesting a lack of consensus on the best teaching methods. Additionally, there is little rigorous evaluation of these teaching methods and curricula, indicating a need for further research on public health pedagogy on structural racism.

Socio-ecological and pharmacy-level factors associated with naloxone stocking at standing-order naloxone pharmacies in New York City

Bilal Abbas et al.

Summary: Findings from this study indicate that greater neighborhood poverty is associated with a lower likelihood of pharmacies carrying naloxone, while pharmacies that provide private physical spaces are more likely to have naloxone in stock. This suggests that socioeconomic factors and the built environment of pharmacies play a role in naloxone availability.

Differences in Opioid Overdose Mortality Rates Among Middle-Aged Adults by Race/Ethnicity and Sex, 1999-2018

Rachel A. Hoopsick et al.

Summary: The types of opioids abused in the United States have shifted over time, with different demographic groups showing varying trends in opioid overdose mortality rates. Non-Hispanic White adults had the highest rates of natural and semisynthetic opioid overdose mortality, while non-Hispanic Black adults had the highest rates of heroin and synthetic opioid overdose mortality. Men generally had higher overdose mortality rates than women, with significant differences seen in deaths involving different types of opioids. The findings suggest a need for policy interventions that take into account the unique risks faced by different subgroups in the opioid crisis.

Buprenorphine use and disparities in access among emergency department patients with opioid use disorder: A cross-sectional study

Matthew Robbins et al.

Summary: Buprenorphine is effective in treating opioid use disorder but is underutilized. Despite low misuse potential, non-prescribed use is common. Patients in the study had high familiarity with buprenorphine, with disparities in access based on age and race. Expanding buprenorphine access is crucial to meet the treatment needs of those with opioid use disorder.
