About the Course

This course reviews culturally tailored substance use interventions for Indigenous adults in North America. Through a systematic review of 18 studies, participants will explore the prevalence of substance use disorders (SUD) among Indigenous populations, the importance of culturally integrated treatment approaches, and key gaps in service accessibility. The course highlights how community-driven strategies and Indigenous systems of knowledge contribute to improved substance use outcomes and offers insights into enhancing culturally relevant programming.

This course is based on the reading online article, Culturally Tailored Substance Use Interventions for Indigenous People of North America created by Ariel M.S. Richer, LMSW et al in 2023.
